travel (lots and lots of travel; I have been to 25+ countries), reading, writing, music, art

This demands a copious answer, so I'll do a disservice to the many for the sake of a few: Faulkner, T. Morrison, Primo Levi, the Russians, Amichai, Henry Roth, Whitman, Brecht, Kafka, Frank Norris, Virginia Woolf, R. Wright, Agnon

Zelig, The Jazz Singer (Al Jolson), I. Bergman, Pasolini, Woman in the Dunes, Fellini, Fritz Lang, Kurosawa, Imitation of Life, Desperately Seeking Susan

anything that sounds good; I have eclectic tastes...but an abridged list: classic rock, classical, new wave, jazz, opera, Israeli, world music, klezmer, funk, punk, indie music, hip-hop, anything but emo i guess...

I don't really watch much TV, but I'll leave it on for Oz, The Simpsons, and All in the Family

I moved to Israel in 1998, completed my degree in Literature at Tel Aviv University, and have just started a PhD at UC Berkeley(English/American studies/Social and Cultural Anthropology). I recently returned from a whirlwind of international work and travel... I was in Germany on a research fellowship for part of last year (where I was teaching a course on American Romanticism), and have recently traveled to Vietnam, Thailand (twice), Panama, Columbia, and Singapore. This summer I will be traveling to Bosnia, Africa and Israel. When I am not trying to tour the globe, I am busy with research and various academic interests. My research focuses on the 17th century in America (specifically, racial representations in Puritan texts of encounter). Sound boring? I love it!

I have just relocated to the Bay area and am looking to meet intelligent, down to earth people. I am always looking for travel companions as well.
