Joshua Henkin has lived in New York for most of his life, but he spent four formative years in his mid-20s in Berkeley and San Francisco. Between 1987 and 1991, he worked at Tikkun magazine and was a freelance journalist and a tutor. He also taught Hebrew school at Congregation Beth El in Berkeley. The 57-year-old author, who has a new novel coming out June 15, said that period of his life was crucial in his development as a serious writer of fiction. “I grew up on the East Coast in a world where there were pretty traditional ideas about what a nice Jewish boy should do, and I’m not sure being a fiction writer was one of them,” Henkin said via Zoom from his Brooklyn home. “I think being away from that world, and being in the Bay Area, gave me the freedom to do something that I might not have done if I hadn’t come to the Bay Area.”
