The Friends Group is one of those books intended for readers who thirst for pure fiction, for continuous storytelling, for a novel. The Friends Group grew up together in Tel Aviv. Its members wander, love, dream, progress through the same stages of Israeli life: high school, the army, work. And as with any group of friends, the passage of time condemns them to different fates. It separates them and brings them together again, but they are no longer themselves. "As always happens when we await someone's downfall - when it comes, we fail to savor it, but find ourselves sorry; and this is not due to sudden compassion or regret, but because his downfall is always different from the one we intended for him." Eran Horowitz was born between Rabin and Ichilov in 1994. He published his first book ("Lior Rubin") and won the Minister of Culture Award for it. He translated letters from Victor Hugo and Thomas Mann.
