Yoel Hoffmann, professor of Buddhism
and Philosophy at Haifa University, was born in Hungary and arrived in pre-State
Israel as a small child. His mother died shortly after, and Hoffmann was
placed in an orphanage until his father remarried. He won the first Koret
Jewish Book Award for Katschen & The Book of Joseph (New Directions,
1998).
The Heart is Katmandu, Hoffmann's
new work, is a playful and romantic love story set in Haifa, a little difficult
to follow because of its avant-garde style, but well worth the struggle.
The Book of Joseph follows the
life of an orphan in Palestine.
