Ron Leshem, author of Beaufort

By turns subversive and darkly comic, brutal and tender, Ron Leshe's debut novel is an international literary sensation, winner of Israel's top award for literature and the basis for a prizewinning film. Charged with brilliance and daring, hypnotic in its intensity, BEAUFORT is at once a searing coming-of-age story and a novel for our times --- one of the most powerful, visceral portraits of the horror, camaraderie, and absurdity of war in modern fiction.
