A.B. Yehoshua

Book Appreciation: A.B. Yehoshua’s “Mr. Mani” — A Great Work of Fiction

A.B. Yehoshua was anything but a provincial Israeli writer. He was literary giant whose imaginative gift was so striking and diverse that you never knew what he would do next.

Book Review: A.B. Yehoshua’s “The Tunnel” — A Serious Romp about an Aging Brain

Exuberant is the right word for A.B. Yehoshua’s new novel, not only because of the story’s pile up of characters and events, but also for its prose.

Book Review: Israeli Novelist A.B. Yehoshua’s Fascinating “Retrospective”

Theater Review: “Hand in Hand Together” — The Perils of Political Theater in Translation

Many historical dramas are content to use the past as a lens through which to view the present, but “Hand in Hand Together” does more than explore how conflicting ideologies influenced the creation of modern Israel. Dramatist A. B. Yehoshua explores the other possible routes history may have taken.
