How is award-winning novelist Noa Yedlin grappling with portrayals of Israeli society after October 7? How can a society undergoing so much trauma and change be depicted in literature? Yedlin, a best-selling and award-winning Israeli author, offers insights into her heartfelt perspective on being an Israeli writer today, including exploring how the tragedies on and following October 7 affect what fiction should reflect back at society, the everyday lives of Israeli people, the changing role of humor in literature, and art’s capacity to help us find meaning and understanding amidst current events.
Yedlin will be in conversation with The CJM's Director of Public Programs, Gravity Goldberg.
