David Grossman

David Grossman (born 1954 in Jerusalem) is an Israeli author. He studied philosophy and theater at Hebrew University. For Israel's state radio service, Kol Israel, he worked as a correspondent and radio actor. He was one of the presenters of Cat in a Sack, a children's program that was broadcast from 1970 to 1984. On that program his book Duel was first aired as a radio drama. There as well, with Dani Eldar, he ran the popular absurdist series Stutz (a Yiddish word meaning "that can happen"). He is married and the father of three children. His books have been translated into many languages and published around the world. In 1984 he won the Prime Minister's Prize for Creative Work and was a candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature. Grossman writes for children, teens, and adults.
