The Book of Intimate Grammar de David Grossman

At twelve years old, Aron Kleinfeld is the leader of the boys in his Jerusalem neighbourhood, their ringleader in dreaming up games and adventures.

But as his friends begin to leave their childhood imaginations behind Aron is appalled.

The Book of Intimate Grammar is about the alchemy of childhood, which transforms loneliness and fear into creation, and about the stuggle to emerge as an artist.
