He is an avid reader, who considers Homer’s Odyssey the best book ever written, and is partial to all the Russian Classics. Two additional books—“The Third Patient” and “Tashi Delek”—will be published in 2014, and a fourth book, “Saving Marina K.”, in 2015.
On a good day (after two cups of coffee), he can understand parts of seven languages and read in four alphabets. He has visited forty-two countries and lived on three continents. He is interested in philosophy, music and politics and plays chess at a high level.
Dr. Gonen lives in Philadelphia, is married, and has three children.view less
