It’s the late 1990s, and twenty-five-year-old Joshua, who has never been with a woman, is hungry for love. When he is not typing zip codes during the night shifts at a post office distribution center, he is visiting euphoric dance bars and desolated pubs in an attempt to meet women, only to be met with indifference and contempt. Then, one night, he meets Cynthia…

When the young woman arrives at the post office, she is shown to the computer next to Joshua’s. She speaks to him, and by that becomes the first person in the room to ever address him. As they stand together in the cold during their breaks he discovers a poetic, even tormented soul.

After a lifetime of living as an outsider, Joshua is invited inside the tasteful, artisanal life of Cynthia’s inner circle. He is so certain that if her extended hand touches his, neither will be alone again. But as he senses they are growing closer and closer, Joshua will soon learn that some things are just too good to be true.

E. Samuel is the international pen name of Eli Shmueli - an award-winning author and poet living in Jerusalem, Israel. His writing, described as "dirty realism", was compared by commentators to Bukowski’s novels and to Orwell’s early works, and features the people commonly ignored by modern society – the unsuccessful, those who did not accomplish their dreams. His poems appear in the printed media in Israel, and were translated into English, Spanish and Arabic.

Shmueli’s debut novel, Under Neon Lights (published as “Margins Man”, Pardes publishing, 2015), was awarded four literary prizes including the Ministry of Culture Prize, the Goldberg Foundation prize for best manuscript, the Rabinovich Foundation Award, and the prestigious Pardes Fellowship of the National Library of Israel.

Following the publication of his poetry book The God That Failed Is You (Pardes Publishing, 2017) and the controversial novel The Poet and the Stripper (Am Oved Publishers, 2020), Shmueli received the Israeli Prime Minister Literary Award.
