Join us on for this virtual program when we will hear from both author and translator in a moderated discussion.

Yishay Ishi Ron is an Israeli author and the son of a Holo­caust sur­vivor. His acclaimed nov­el Dog was longlist­ed for the Sapir Prize and is cur­rent­ly being adapt­ed into a fea­ture film. The Girl Who Rode the White Lion is his sec­ond nov­el.
