Israel authors A. B. Yehoshua and Eshkol Nevo have made the final list of candidates for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, Arts Council England announced Thursday according to British media. The books – Nevo's "Homesick" and Yehoshua's "Friendly Fire" – are two of sixteen titles that were chosen out of 126 contenders.
The honor in question, which is accompanied by 10,000 pound prize, is awarded for work of fiction by a living author that has been translated into English and published in the UK in the last year.

Did you have a chance to read any of his work tikun?
How long has he been publishing and what is his main genre?

I have read a number of A.B. Yehoshua's books. Neva is new to me. Mainly because he has just recently been translated into English and my Hebrew is not that fluent to read a novel comfortably. Yehoshua is a State treasure and respected. Very liberal, what else is new, but very sensible and not an ideologue. Hope this helps. He is certainly worth reading.
