David Grossman

David Grossman, born in Jerusalem on 25 January 1954, began as a child as a young reporter for a weekly for children, then worked at the public radio station Kol Israel, which he left in 1988 in a dispute over the coverage of Palestinian affairs. His reportage Le Vent jaune, in 1987, made him a controversial political voice. His son Uri was killed in Lebanon on 12 August 2006, at the age of twenty. He received the International Booker Prize in 2017 and the Israel Prize in 2018, and lives in Mevaseret Zion, near Jerusalem.
