David Grossman
at the JCCSF BookFest & Stanford University

November 2, 2008

Israel’s most respected author and best-loved voice for peace makes a rare Bay Area appearance at the JCCSF BookFest and Stanford University to talk about the life and conscience of a nation that, he says, has lost faith in its leaders and its ideals. Author of six internationally acclaimed novels including The Yellow Wind, Her Body Knows, Be My Knife, See Under: LOVE and dozens of essays, Grossman provides a voice of compassion and reason at a time of deep uncertainty.

"If there is one word for Grossman’s faith, it is humanism. This word is in some dispute today; it is rare and awesome to come across the real thing.” - Marshal Berman, The Nation
