Introduction

In this episode of 92Y Talks, Israeli author David Grossman discusses his new novel, More Than I Love My Life, with fellow writer Nathan Englander. Inspired by the memories of a political prisoner in 1950s Yugoslavia, the book tells the story of three generations of women on an unlikely journey from Israel to the “Adriatic Alcatraz” to confront the shared trauma of their family’s past. The conversation was streamed live as part of the 92nd Street Y's online readings series on September 23, 2021.
