Trauma and Survival - YISHAY ISHI RON/Dog

Trauma and Survival -    SUNDAY Feb 22, 7:00pm 

YISHAY ISHI RON / Dog
In Conversation with the book's translator YARDENNE GREENSPAN

Dog tells the story of a soldier broken open by war, addiction,and unbearable guilt. It is not a “nice” book – it is an honest one. It speaks the language of men who never learned to describe theirpain. It speaks to anyone who has ever carried a wound they couldnot name. In this compelling narrative, Ron masterfully delves into the complexities of PTSD, the struggle for self-forgiveness and the transformative power of unconditional love.

In Israel, the book’s impact has been immediate and visceral. It was longlisted for the Sapir Prize and recommended by the National Library of Israel as one of the strongest and most important books ever written about PTSD.

YISHAY ISHI RON is an Israeli author, a former elite combat soldier, and a survivor of severe PTSD. Writing has been an essential part of his healing journey, enabling him to channel deeply personal experiences into his work.
YARDENNE GREENSPAN is a writer and Hebrew translator born in Tel Aviv and living in New York.
