They will return to Lechterman
Yesterday, in London, Israeli writer David Grossman learned that he had won the prestigious "Man Booker" award, where he competed with leading international writers. Grossman will receive a portion of the amount and the translator who translated his book from Hebrew to English will receive a "horse entering a bar" on another part. The list of final contenders included another famous Israeli writer, Amos Oz, also a friend of Grossman.
The judges comment on the award: "There is importance to every sentence in this book, the story is short and extraordinary describes sadly when the loss of parents through the perspective of a comedian The hero collapses in front of the public, and then tells the jokes in front of him, but the jokes do not succeed in raising laughter He is not talking about one person but about all of Israel in our time, from a point of view that we did not think about and talk about its fundamentals. "
The writer Grossman is known for his leftist views in support of Israeli-Palestinian peace. Grossman wrote his first book on the lives of Palestinians in the West Bank. He criticized the political leadership in the Second Lebanon War (2006) and said that it must be stopped because it is killing human life in vain. Two days later, his son was killed on the battlefield in Lebanon.
Education Minister Miri Regev praised the writer, although she is known for her opposition to artists whom she regards as too left-wing and often threatened to loot budgets from educational centers and festivals for various reasons. "Relations between art and governance have always been a problem, but the intelligent system of governance knows that it should allow art to exercise this power of expression," said Grossman.
