May 26, 2022 Jewish Tribune Michael Grynszpan 1You won't believe me.A bookstore in Tel Aviv has developed a revolutionary algorithm.Just think hard about any topic and then get into that Allenby stalemate at number 87.For sure, you will find a book that will answer your current concerns.Thousands of books in Hebrew, English, Spanish or French await you.This library reads you before you read its pages.Google, Twitter or Facebook are well behind this advanced technology, because they need your writing to offer you products in line with your expectations.Some even believe that the GAFAM would use our telephone discussions to know us and manipulate us.But in the case of Halper's Books, they tap right into your thoughts.Enter the labyrinth of shelves, lose yourself in this silence of words, let yourself be guided by the spirits that reign there.You will also find there what you were not looking for.This is how today I remembered the great Albert Memmi – who died exactly two years ago – when I entered the magic bookshop.I naturally found one of his books.Right away, straight away, effortlessly.I interviewed Albert Memmi in 2019. He was 98 years old, fresh as a young man, smiling, mischievous.Albert Memmi knew and loved Israel.One can imagine that it would have pleased him to know that the avant-garde algorithm of a bookstore in Tel Aviv offered me his novel “The Pillar of Salt”.We can read in the preface written by Albert Camus: “Here is a French writer from Tunisia who is neither French nor Tunisian… (…) he is not really Tunisian, the first pogrom where the Arabs massacre the Jews demonstrates this to him ”.I asked the owner of the shop if he intended to take his technology to the Nasdaq or sell it to a large investment fund on Rothschild Boulevard.I paid 15 shekels for the book and left.Michael Grynszpan is a documentary filmmaker and journalist.He has worked for international and Israeli channels.Born in Paris, he has lived in Tel Aviv for more than twenty years.Among its achievements: The Forgotten Refugees, on the history of the Jews in the Arab world, was awarded and broadcast internationally but still screened at the UN and the American Congress.To his credit: “Descendants of Nazis: the infernal heritage” for France 3, a film about the descendants of Nazis who decided to convert to Judaism and sometimes to go and live in Israel.“Monsieur Chouchani – Mister Shoshani – מר שושני”, master of Elie Wiesel and Emmanuel Levinas.Andre Markowicz.what stinksWe are waiting for you: The 15th Antiracism and Diversity Book Fair – LICRA Paris – June 5th.3 p.m.Well done Michael!Long live books and m.. to GafamYour email address will not be published.Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.Don't forget to subscribe to our 3 weekly newsletters for free and it's HERE!Don't forget to add our address newsletter@tribunejuive.info to your contacts to be sure to receive our newsletter!Jewish Tribune has existed since 1945.
