Deborah Solomon interviews Israeli novelist A.B. Yehoshua for the New York Times:
Let’s talk about your latest novel, “A Woman in Jerusalem,” which comes out in this country in a few weeks.
This is the most important thing! Meaning, I would like to speak not about the Hezbollah but my novel.
Isn’t politics more important than your own career?
Of course, but about my novel I can speak something more accurate, more intimate and more true than I can about Hezbollah.
