92Y Video: From the Poetry Center Archive: Amos Oz

Israeli writer Amos Oz returned to 92nd Street Y on October 26th to read from his new collection of stories, Scenes From Village Life. After the reading, he was interviewed by critic Ruth Franklin, author of A Thousand Darknesses: Lies and Truth in Holocaust Fiction. Today’s featured video is an excerpt from their conversation.
