CrocAttack!

Brilliant ... makes us reconsider the very nature of terrorism from both a survivor's and a bomber's point-of-view. LA Times

Klappentext:

Eitan "Croc" Enoch is taking his usual bus to work in Tel Aviv one morning when the passenger next to him starts to worry about the dark-skinned man with a suspicious bag, sitting near the front. So begins a week of bloody bombings – of which Croc is the miraculous survivor. Inadvertently, and reluctantly, he becomes a national celebrity and symbol of Israeli defiance. If the Palestinian cell behind the attacks weren't after him before, they are now.

Meanwhile, in a Jerusalem hospital, a young Palestinian suicide bomber lies in a coma, trying to piece together what happened when he finally meth the "Croc" ...

Fast, funny and very contemporary, CrocAttack! is the story of the convergence of two very different lives, in a country exploding around them.
