The Last Chapter of A.B. Yehoshua (Haperek Ha'acharon Shel A.B. Yehoshua)

The Last Chapter of A.B. Yehoshua

Writer A.B. Yehoshua, one of the key figures of the Israeli New Wave, has been called “the Israeli Faulkner” by The New York Times. Now 84 and widowed, he struggles with loneliness and health setbacks, yet his mind remains agile and his perspective clear. Filmmaker Yair Qedar (The Hebrews), attentively follows Yehoshua with his camera as the illustrious author reflects on his mortality, his complicated heritage, and his political views. Sharp-witted and tart-tongued, Yehoshua stands as a source of inspiration, a living testament to wholehearted engagement with the world. 

The Last Chapter of A.B.Yehoshua offers a rare and fascinating look at one of Israel’s most beloved writers, who passed away in June 2022.
