"When She's Done Sketching" on Joyland

I have a new story on Joyland and I hope you’ll read it. It’s a love story, and a story about dementia, and a story about moving back to Jerusalem from NYC, and a story about a few other things, but for me it’smostly an ode to the woman who was my grandmother's caretaker for many years, and an attempt to shed a light, small though it may be, on her reality (as she described it to me) and the reality of many migrant workers in Israel, whose difficulties have only gotten far worse--as they did in the US--since the early aughts, when this story takes place.
