Yehoshua is also his country's most audacious thinker about politics, culture, history, and Jewish identity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYehoshua's achievement has been recognized throughout the world, and he has been awarded literary prizes in both Israel and the United States. A lively, controversial, and prophetic voice in his homeland, Yehoshua rigorously tests his community's deepest pieties: religion, Zionism, and the agony of the Holocaust. A Jew who does not believe in God, he is a committed Zionist and member of the peace camp in Israel that welcomed the Palestinian uprising of 1987. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the tradition of the Paris Review interviews, Horn's conversations with Yehoshua reveal the intricate play of literary, psychological, mythological, and political motifs in the novelist's work.
