A.B. Yehoshua, Israeli Writer, Dies at 85

As novelist Lore Segal stated in a Times book review, Morco looked at his widow’s legal counsel as “posthumous potential” while his wife was still breathtaking, leaving the rest of the novel in another post. I spend my time meeting with-the possibility of death.

Yehoshua won the National Jewish Book Award for fiction. Mani (1992) traces the wandering of six generations of the Sephardim Mani family throughout an important period of Jewish history. Each of the five chapters consists of a dialogue of one speaker telling a story to another character, and the missing response of that listener is included in the first character’s remarks.

Saul Bellow called Yehoshua “one of Israel’s world-famous writers.” His book has been translated into 28 languages. He received the Israel Prize annually from the state for his significant cultural contributions and was selected as the finalist for the first Manbooker International Award in 2005, after which all his work. Was awarded to.

“In one movement of his imaginative wings,” Israeli novelist Grossman wrote in an email about Yehoshua: It’s surreal. “

Some critics have seen Yehoshua’s novels and short stories as a parable of his view of jaundice on Israeli policy towards Palestinians. Others have rejected such an interpretation. In a review of “Late Divorce,” Times critic Walter Goodman said that the Israeli characters in the novel “used money, gender, food, humor, affection, and cruelty to hug each other and hug each other. I will punish you. ” The novel “has nothing to do with the West Bank.”
