A. B. Yehoshua

Avraham Gabriel "Boolie" Yehoshua (Hebrew: אברהם גבריאל "בולי" יהושע; December 9, 1936 – June 14, 2022[2]) was an Israeli novelist, essayist, and playwright.[3] Underlying themes in Yehoshua's work are Jewish identity, the tense relations with non-Jews, the conflict between the older and younger generations, and the clash between religion and politics.[4] Avraham Gabriel ("Boolie") Yehoshua was born to a third-generation Jerusalem family of Sephardi origin from Salonika, Greece.He became a prominent figure in the "new wave" generation of Israeli writers, who differed from their predecessors in focusing more closely on the individual, and interpersonal concerns, rather than the psychology of a group.[12] Harold Bloom wrote an article about Yehoshua's A Late Divorce in The New York Times,[13] mentioning the work again in his The Western Canon.As do many of his works, his eighth novel, Friendly Fire, explores the nature of dysfunctional family relationships[15] in a drama that moves back and forth between Israel and Tanzania.
