A.B. Yehoshua is one of Israel's most widely-read authors. He was born in Jerusalem and now lives in Haifa where he has taught and served as Dean of students at the University of Haifa. On his father's side, his family has lived in Jerusalem for five generations. His mother is from North Africa.
From the mid-1950s through the 1960s and 1970s, Yehoshua's writing was full of suspense and allegories. He is similar, in this respect, to Kafka and S.Y. Agnon. He wrote stories questioning the foundations of the Zionist state as well as "old man" type reminiscences.
