‘If you are able to make fun of yourself, you are not a victim. The situation that previously has paralysed you lost its power.’ WINNER OF THE 2017 MAN BOOKER INTERNATIONAL PRIZE David Grossman, author of To the End of the Land and Falling Out of Time, joins us to discuss his most recent novel, the prize-winning A Horse Walks into a Bar. He expounds on the book’s genesis, the difference between Israeli and Yiddish humour, and the stories we tell ourselves as people and nations.
