New York, NY Israeli Novelist Knew About Spying First Hand ROBYN KLEEREKOPER Special to The Jewish News t all comes out of g g 1 that soup — the complex, disturbing, maybe confusing and delici- ous, borscht that was my childhood," says author, Gay Courter, explaining what motivates her to write novels, the most recent of which, Code Ezra, a book about women in Israeli espionage, was highlighted at the 1986 Jewish Book Fair at the Jewish Community Center. The "borscht" was a very unusual childhood, with great chunks of time spent in coun- tries like Japan, Taiwan, Brazil, Israel and Argentina. Speaking at the Hadassah Day at the Jewish Book Fair, Courter, the daughter of an Israeli intelligence operative, said "I was one of those kids in school who never knew what to put down for her father's occupation.

I would ask him what that meant, and told him it was too long to fill in the blank. My mother just said to write, `wheeler-dealer', because she felt it was more accurate." "But my family kept fol- lowing my father wherever he 'wheeled and dealed', which were strange, emerg- ing Third World countries. I was always set apart, always the outsider, no matter where I was. I went to first grade at the Taipei missionary school in Taiwan — the only Jewish child in the school, and prob- ably we were the only Jewish family in Taiwan. My mother's solution to matzoh for Passover that year was a strange kind of fried Chinese flatbread, and she came up with other similarly creative solutions in other countries. It was years before I ever saw a Manischewitz box," she says. In most places they stayed, her mother took care of educating her, trying to inte- grate where they were with what she was studying. To overcome problems in pen- manship, her mother "bought me a beautiful leather-bound journal, and I was told to, in my very neatest handwriting, write an observation each day of something I saw, and so, from' the earliest times, I was writing down things that I saw, and these things were by no means average. "There were trips down canals in Thailand, or up mountains in Hong Kong, and things like that. I had a fascinating amount of mate-
