I Always Remain Myself

"I am forced to see everything only through my own eyes." His name is Dan Arbel, and he lives in a world that will never be the same. A brilliant invention has changed this world forever. No person is tied... to their body anymore. With the simple push of a button, one can find themselves in the body of another. There is no need to fly to Thailand - it’s enough to swap bodies with someone vacationing on a Thai beach. There’s no need to explain your symptoms to a doctor: the doctor can be in your body for a few seconds and learn everything necessary. It’s useless to waste time on fitness; it’s much easier to lend your body to a trainer. The world will never be the same, yet Dan Arbel is not affected by this. He is the only person in the world unable to change bodies. What is it - a congenital defect, divine blessing, or a terrible curse? Yoav Blum's novel "I Always Remain Myself" received one of the most prestigious literary awards in Israel - the Geffen Award.
