In Dog, Israeli writer Yishay Ishi Ron draws on his own experience of war and recovery to create an unflinching, humane portrait of a soldier’s life after combat. Geller, once a decorated officer, now roams Tel Aviv’s margins, haunted by memories of battle and the death of a dog in Gaza. When a stray crosses his path, a fragile bond offers him a chance at care and redemption. Beautifully translated by Yardenne Greenspan, Dog explores trauma, loyalty and the struggle to survive with insight and compassion. Join Yishay and Yadenne for a conversation moderated by writer, editor, former combat soldier and Sinai and Negev guide, Ranen Omer-Sherman.
