I began to go to Israel to visit in the '80s, I think, and that was very different. There I was confronted with this... this country of Jews and its... its problems. But I wasn't one of them, and I remember I had lunch once in the Knesset with [Ehud] Olmert – who later became Prime Minister – and he was telling me how the Jews were going to come to Israel... the American Jews were going to come to Israel in... by the boat-load to settle the West Bank. And I told him that no one's coming here. The Orthodox are coming, but none of the secular Jews are coming, not even the religious Jews who aren't Orthodox are going to. They're very happy where they are. I said, 'There is a Zion, it's called America', and he... he was stunned. And I think he's written about this conversation somewhere. So what it is to be a Jew shifts with where you are. But I'm genealogically a... a Jew, but I've been acculturated 100 times over since I was a child, by the world – the world of letters, the world of people, the world of politics – and it seems to me to have been a very fortunate trajectory. I think it's fine that it worked out this way. I have no nostalgia for some other way of being a Jew.
