Zeruya Shalev

WRITER / EDITOR

Israel

A writer, editor, and author of several novels published by Gallimard, she is one of the major voices in Israeli literature. Her talent and virtuosity illuminate Ce qui reste de nos vies (Prix Femina Étranger 2014): while their 80-year-old mother is dying, her two children assess their lives. A tireless and unequaled explorer of the human soul, Zeruya Shalev excels at dissecting the complexity of family ties and the love between parents and children.
