Amos Oz
(born May 4, 1939, Jerusalem, Israel) Israeli novelist, short-story writer, and essayist. A second-generation Israeli, Oz lived primarily on a kibbutz from the 1950s to the 1980s. He served in the Israeli army (1957 – 60, 1967, and 1973) but later became a leading advocate of peace. His symbolic works — including Where the Jackals Howl, and Other Stories (1965); My Michael (1968), perhaps his best-known novel; Black Box (1987); and A Tale of Love and Darkness (2002) — reflect the conflicts in Israeli life.
