"לבד מילדים ושמחות ברורות ומובהקות אחרות, כל רגעי האושר בחיים שלכם לא משתווים ליממה אחת, בחיים בהם אתם חיים את החלום.""אביב גבע ממשיך להפנט את הקוראים בעלילה ייחודית וכלל לא קונבנציונלית. מנהל דיאלוג עם הקוראים, מעלה תובנות ושאלות ברומו של עולם, גורם לקוראים לפשפש ולתהות על דברים מהותיים. הספר רווי בסקס, נועז וחשוף בתיאורים בוטים וגרפיים, אבל מהיכרותי את סגנון הכתיבה של אביב ידעתי שהכל מכוון בכדי לערער את הקוראים. הרגשתי שאביב הוציא אותי מאזור הנוחות שלי, מתח עד הקצה את הגבולות שלי. אביב שם לנו מראה על חיינו. זה לא ספר רגיל - זה מדריך לנבכי הנשמה."

"'פאטל', בבסיסו, הוא רומן המקיים דיאלוג עם קוראיו.
"Imagine you're in a really good relationship, everything's really good and nice and you love each other, but they promise you that with someone else it would be the love of your life. If they swore to you that this was the case, how many of you would get up and leave?
In Dr. Seuss's book ‘Cat in the Hat’, the children are left alone at home. Being bored, they want to do something fun. But they mustn't, it is forbidden... Then who appears out of nowhere? The cat in the hat! He fulfils everything they asked for despite the fact that the fish in the jar warns the children that their mother will be very angry!
Throughout our entire lives we want and ask from the universe or from God all sorts of things. To fulfil dreams, to realize fantasies. But most of the time we are too afraid or rely on the fears of others. "But how?", "But it’s impossible", "But how many succeed??"
I was a lawyer. I Hated myself. Hated my life. I started writing totally 'by chance', as they say. A former screenwriter that studied with me in my first law degree thought that I was talented and that I should give it a try.
I wrote about thirty pages and forgot all about it. Two years later, again 'by chance' of course, I met this girl I knew years before and that was now some kind of psychic. After two minutes of small-talk she suddenly asked out of the blue - "maybe you wrote something?".
At first I said no, because I didn't even remember it, but then I told her that in fact I did. "That's your purpose in life," she immediately replied, "you'll be a great Author."
That conversation totally 'flipped me over' because there wasn't the slightest chance she could have known about it.
As time went by I completed my first novel, but no publisher wanted it. An unknown writer, not a celebrity or something like that, why should they take a chance?
But I wasn’t going to give up. And despite the fact that I was already quite respectful divorce-mediation lawyer and even taught divorce-mediation in Bar-Ilan university, I took a chair and a folding table, and sat in the middle of the main street of Tel-Aviv selling my book to passers-by, when all my surrounding thought I got fucked up in the head…
But that wasn’t the hardest part. Even though I started getting very good reviews and letters from readers in social media, I couldn't have my books be sold at bookstores because the distributors didn't want to take a chance with a self-published book.
It took as much as three years, but eventually people started asking for my book at the bookstores. Within two more years my first novel became a best-seller, and just recently I have published my fifth book.
So don't ever let anyone tell you something is not possible, and I really hope you'll enjoy my writings.
With lots of love,
Aviv."

💜The Knight is a Son of a Bitch💜
"An excellent, fluid, and surprising book." ―Actor Tal Friedman
"A different, unique, cynical, cheeky, daring book that shakes your mind and kicks you in the face. It's worth diving into the author's mind and joining him on a journey into love. The writing is crazy, bordering on genius." ―Book Reviews, Sarah Rachmiel
"I mistakenly thought this was a typical light read, perfect for a flight, but as I read—or more accurately, got pulled into it—I gradually realized it was the exact opposite. The Knight is a Son of a Bitch contains philosophical and existential elements that challenge the reader to reflect on their condition, surroundings, feelings, and emotions. This book stirred deep questions in me about solipsism and touched me in profoundly unique ways. I'm not sure if Geva, the author of this remarkable work, is fully aware of his unique and extraordinary talent as a writer, and of the many layers his writing encompasses." ―Author Doron Braunshtein
