Amos Oz Lecture at UC San Diego

On Monday, April 22, 2013 world-renowned Israeli writer Amos Oz delivered the Herman Wouk Visiting Lecture to a crowd of 500 on the UCSD campus. Oz, who recently published a book, Jews and Words (Yale U.P., 2012) with his daughter Fania Oz-Salzburger, spoke of the unprecedented revival of the Hebrew language, and advocated for moderacy and compromise in in approaching the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. The right leaders may already exist, they just don't know it yet, he told the audience. While at UCSD, Oz also met with a group of undergraduate and graduate students who had been studying his fiction. The visit was generously sponsored by the Price family.
