Orly Castel-Bloom
Orly Castel-Bloom was born in Tel
Aviv in 1960 to parents originally from Egypt. After studying film at
the Beit Zvi Institute and Tel Aviv University, she published her first
collection of stories in 1987 and has been a leading voice in Hebrew
literature ever since, constantly expanding the boundaries of the Hebrew
language as well as of narrative style. Castel-Bloom has lectured at
Harvard University, UCLA, UC Berkeley, New York University as well as at
Oxford and Cambridge Universities; at present she teaches creative
writing at Tel Aviv University. She has published novels, collections of
short stories, and a book for children. Her postmodern classic, Dolly City,
has been included in UNESCO`s Collection of Representative Works, and
was nominated in 2007 one of the ten most important books since the
creation of the State of Israel. Castel-Bloom has received the Tel Aviv
Foundation Award (1990), the Alterman Prize for Innovation (1993), the
Prime Minister`s Prize three times (1994, 2001, 2011) ), the Newman
Prize (2003), the French WIZO Prize for Human Parts (2005) and the Leah
Goldberg Prize (2007). Her books have been published abroad in 11
languages.
