There are many living Israeli authors worth reading, but David Grossman is in a class of his own. On Wednesday night, a friend and I were lucky enough to see him live at the Jerusalem Writers Festival, where he was interviewed by journalist Kobi Meidan. Most of the conversation (naturally) centered around Oct 7th and the ensuing war - and he did not mince words when speaking about the current government (“one that seems to hate their people,”) and above all, the general mood (“profound sadness.”)
One of my favourite authors. Truly in a class all his own. I heard him speak once, at the JCC in San Fransisco 10 years ago. I would love to have heard him speak.
