Prologue, Shlomo the Loser: Chapters 1 & 2 of CHUBEZA

***PROLOGUE***
To the dismay of his skeptical wife, a budding reporter sets out on a journey to Chubeza, a mythic town "not far from Tel Aviv" where all kids are kind, where everyone loves animals, where every marriage is full of affection. By following three stories of some everyday Chubezans, he will find out whether such happy ideals are truly possible in this lonely, rough-and-tumble world.
