Amos Oz, the internationally famous Israeli author, is in Shaare Zedek Hospital recovering from serious internal injuries he sustained yesterday in an automobile accident on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv road. A hospital spokesman said Oz’s life was not in danger but his recovery will be a long process. His two daughters suffered less serious injuries in the accident. Oz is the author of a string of successful novels that have been translated into English and other languages. His best known book is “My Michael.”
