Celebrated Israeli writer, A. B. Yehoshua, discusses the current crisis in the Middle East. Yehoshua's gripping narratives describe the physical and psychological ambivalence of those living in modern Israel. All the subjects of life in Israel, its difficulties, its conflicts, its mixture of joy and sorrow, emerge through Yehoshua's examination of the personal lives of his characters, who, despite living a life fraught with concern and anxiety, stubbornly endure.
