| You Are Eric |
 You are cool, calculating, and very hard to read. Power is your only concern.People find you extremely intimidating but also very fascinating. Others are drawn to your strength. You see most humans as pawns in your game. The only people you respect are those who have more power than you. You are aggressive and a go-getter. You're not content to sit around and let things happen. You like to make things happen. |
The third season of the HBO psychological drama "In Treatment," a series based on the Israeli dramatic series "BeTipul," begins tonight at 9:00 PM, and tomorrow "Eden," the latest novel by "BeTipul" head writer Yael Hedaya, will be published in English by Metropolitan Books, a division of New York publisher Henry Holt and Company. In a New York Magazine interview Hedaya identifies the characters Laura, from the first season of "In Treatment," and Roni, the teenager in "Eden," as younger versions of herself. Hedaya, who now lives in Israel, lived in New York and studied creative writing as a graduate student at NYU.
In my New York Journal of Books review of "Eden" I compare the new translation with Hedaya's longer original Hebrew edition. Although the English version is abridged, I don't think its fair to compare its considerable cuts to Gordon Lish's extensive editing of Raymond Carver's short stories; even after the cuts the English edition of "Eden" comes in at just under 500 pages, and the editing helps its pace. I enthusiasticly recommend both the television series and the novel, and look forward to both reading and viewing Yael Hedaya's future work.

In Treatment
It's interesting to see this Israeli program translated (in all senses) into an American series. It's a brilliant program. HBO's previous shrink series Tell Me You Love Me was also good, but because In Treatment's therapy sessions take up nearly the entire half hour it is even more intense.

Even if you don't subscribe to HBO (or even if you don't own a TV) you can nonetheless watch current episodes of In Treatment on HBO's website. This is one of the rare dramas that is all dialogue, and very engaging--not to be missed IMHO.
