David Grossman (Hebrew: דויד גרוסמן; born January 25, 1954) is an Israeli author. His books have been translated into more than 30 languages, and have won numerous prizes.
He addressed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in his 2008 novel, To the End of the Land. Since that book's publication he has written a children's book, an opera for children and several poems. His most recent book, Falling Out of Time, deals with the grief of parents in the aftermath of their children's death.
Grossman was born in Jerusalem. He is the elder of two brothers.
His mother, Michaella, was born in Mandate Palestine; his father, Yitzhak, emigrated from Poland with his widowed mother at the age of nine. His mother's family was Zionist and poor, his grandfather having paved roads in the Galilee and supplementing his income by buying and selling rugs. His maternal grandmother was a manicurist. His paternal grandmother left Poland after being harassed by police, never before having left the region where she'd been born. Along with her son and daughter, she traveled to Palestine where she became a cleaner in wealthy neighbourhoods.
David Grossman’s new novel, A Horse Walks into a Bar, reveals the life of a stand-up comic in the course of one evening’s performance. “He may be the most gifted writer I’ve ever read; gifted not just because of his imagination, his energy, his originality, but because he has access to the unutterable,” wrote Nicole Krauss. “He can look inside a person and discover the unique essence of her humanity.” Subscribe for more videos like this: http://bit.ly/1GpwawV Your support helps us keep our content free for all.

World renowned author and peace activist David Grossman is very much attached to his homeland of Israel, but is also a harsh critic of its politics. In his latest book, 'A horse walks into a bar,' he combines both humour and horror in what some see as a metaphor for the contradictions dividing the country. Grossman spoke to euronews' Isabelle Kumar in Jerusalem. *Isabelle Kumar, euronews:* "If we look at your book 'A horse walks into a bar' the protagonist Dovalé is at once a very moral cha… READ MORE : http://www.euronews.com/2016/03/17/david-grossman-israelis-more-prone-to-fanaticism-and-fundamentalism Don’t miss our next interview – subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=GlobalConversationYT Website: http://euronews.com/globalconversation The Global Conve...

Alan Gregg has an in-depth conversation with military psychologist Lt. Col. Dave Grossman about his book "On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society." Grossman maintains that we inherently resist killing our own species and that most soldiers engaged in face-to-face combat find it difficult to kill. Many veterans are plagued with guilt about taking another man's life. He believes part of the reason for the rise in civilian murders is that children are desensitized to violence by associating vivid media and videogame depictions of intense human suffering with pleasure. (Originally aired by TVO on March 1996 and released freely to the public in April 2012).

It’s hard to believe it’s been four years since David Grossman’s last visit to the JCCSF. We caught up with him on Friday, May 9 when he came to town to talk to Peter Orner about his meditation on parental grief, Falling Out of Time. Stripped of conventional narration and description, Grossman’s book reads more like a play than a novel, but with all the dialogue written in free verse. He read passages in the original and in translation and spoke about the limits of language, as well as caught us up to date on the situation in Israel. It was a moving evening.
He has built a city from the ground up, transformed the lives of thousands of at-risk children, mediated a skirmish in a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, hosted an entire brigade of IDF paratroopers in the midst of the 2006 Lebanon war, revolutionised Israel’s prison rehabilitation system, and won just about every national prize there is. Hear the story of a true Israeli folk hero.
