With a critical eye and an empathic heart, author Ron Leshem dishes up a most human story that takes place in conditions that are anything but. Fast-paced and brutally honest, unflinching and sometimes uproariously funny, BEAUFORT has been hailed – not only by critics but also by the generation of soldiers who served in Lebanon during Israeli occupation – as the true voice of that sobering period. By turns subversive and darkly comic, brutal and tender, Ron Leshem’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.
