Noa Yedlin
Unconventional Narratives: A Matter of Life and Death
Where do crazy ideas come from? Is there humour in death and dying? How does your novel become a successful TV series? Is writing Israeli fiction different since
October 7th?
Noa Yedlin is a prize-winning Israeli author, cited by Haaretz Magazine as one of "66 Israeli Women You Should Know". She is the creator of a two-season TV series based on her bestselling novel Stockholm (the Israeli Best Mini-Series TV Award), starring Dova'le Glickman and Sasson Gabay (Shtisel)
Yedlin is considered one of Israel's top writers. Her novels – widely known for their dark and subtle humor - sketch with biting precision the complex relationships both within the family and outside of it, while capturing and deconstructing the spirit of the times. Yedlin deals with global phenomena that infiltrate the personal realm
and shape our everyday lives - the rise and fall of social elites, shifts in the balance of power and the never-ending battle between individualism and conformism.
Her novel Stockholm (recently published in the US and UK by Harper Collins) was described by Etgar Keret as "Too funny, too sad, too
real, and too preposterous, just like life. Noa Yedlin's Stockholm is the most entertaining book I've read in a long time."
Speaking directly from Tel Aviv, Noa shares the mood of a war-weary
Israel.
