Od ani holeh
2008 novel written by Yaky Yosha
Od ani holeh (Hebrew: עוד אני הולך) I Am Still Walking is a book and a film based on the book. It is from film director Yaky Yosha's first novel, published in Hebrew in March 2008. The novel was followed by a film based on the story. Production began in the summer of 2008 in Tel Aviv. According to Yosha: "Still Walking" is Shalom's older brother, and show the same youngsters pondering over the social and political state they live in, when they're a generation older. The film, following the book, will track them down when all is without hope."
Plot summary
The narrative takes place in Tel Aviv, at the dawn of the 2006 Lebanon War. Mickey, an ex–Special Forces officer, and ex-Shabak agent (Israeli Security Services), has spent the night in a casino, losing a fortune. Now, at 4 AM, Mickey is lying in a rainy, darken alley, having a severe heart attack.
While Mickey recovers, we find out that he is married to Laura, presently an alcoholic, and formerly—like most characters entangled in this story—a vivacious, beautiful and promising young individual. We also find out that Absalom, his son, both condemns and loves him, and that he is involved with Olga, a Russian immigrant and former prostitute.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2008 novel written by Yaky Yosha” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7617168. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2008 and 2006.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
