A Woman in Jerusalem by Ab Yehoshua
Now an award-winning feature film 'The Human Resources Manager'
"There are human riches hereThe manager moves from a man who has given up on love to one who opens himself to it. And there are strange and powerful scenes - of the morgue, of the coffin, of the Soviet base where the manager passes through the purging of body and soul." (Carole Angier, The Independent) "Mr Yehoshua's A Woman in Jerusalem is a sad, warm, funny book about Israel and being Jewish, and one that has deep lessons to impart - for other people as well as his own." (The Economist) "This novel has about it the force and deceptive simplicity of a masterpiece..." (Claire Messud, The New York Times)"
Born in Jerusalem in 1936, A.B. Yehoshua is the author of nine novels and a collection of short stories. One of Israel's top novelists, he has won prizes worldwide for all his novels and was shortlisted in 2005 for the first Man Booker International Prize. He lives in Haifa where he taught comparative literature for many years and continues to be an outspoken peace activist. "As a writer, my ethical duty is to use my pen to pierce the black plastic shroud, to open the heart towards death, with love and pity."
