Born in Jerusalem in 1954, David Grossman is one of the leading Israeli writers of his generation. He has been wrestling with the trauma of war and the prospects for peace, as well as love, jealousy, and family relationships for more than three decades. In his first novel, See Under: Love, he grappled with the legacy of the Holocaust. In The Yellow Wind, he foresaw the explosive first intifada, and in his bestselling To the End of the Land, he hauntingly portrayed a mother's love for her son in a time of conflict. He is the author of seventeen books that have been translated into 45 languages around the world. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, and several of his books have been adapted to international stage and screen productions. He is also the winner of the 2017 Man Booker International Prize and the 2018 Israel Prize.
