Yehoshua Kenaz

Yehoshua Kenaz, born Yehoshua Glass in Petah Tikva on 2 March 1937, took a name drawn from the Bible in his youth, under the influence of the Canaanites. He studied philosophy and Romance languages at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, then French literature at the Sorbonne. He worked for almost thirty years at the daily Haaretz, where he edited the literary supplement, and translated Balzac, Stendhal, Flaubert and Simenon into Hebrew. He declined the Israel Prize for fear of being too exposed, received the Bialik Prize and died on 12 October 2020.
