Watch a video of Israeli author Yair Assulin, Booker Prize winning translator Jessica Cohen and novelist Ruby Namdar discussing THE DRIVE in a program held on April 19, 2020, co-sponsored by McNally Jackson Books in NYC and City Lights Booksellers in San Francisco.
THE DRIVE by Yair Assulin is a powerfully subversive novel in a long tradition of anti-militarist literature, with existentialist echoes of Céline's Journey to the End of the Night, Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front and Hašek's Good Soldier Švejk. Watch the video where novelist Ruby Namdar lays it out in an engrossing discussion with Assulin and his Booker Prize winning translator Jessica Cohen.
