»ISRAEL IM SPIEGEL DER LITERATUR« YISHAI SARID IN LESUNG UND GESPRÄCH

In the organizer's words:

Moderation: Philipp Lenhard (LMU)
Reading: Thomas Loibl

"Siegerin", "Limassol", "Schwachstellen", "Alles andere als ein Kinderspiel" - Yishai Sarid, born in 1965 in Tel Aviv, where he still lives today, is one of the most widely read Israeli authors. "Monster" was named one of the 100 best books of 2020 by the New York Times, and his new novel "Chameleon" will be published in September 2025 (all titles Kein & Aber // Engl. by Ruth Achlama). Yishai Sarid was an intelligence officer in the Israeli army, studied in Jerusalem and Harvard, was a public prosecutor and works as a lawyer. In the summer semester of 2025, he holds the Amos Oz Visiting Professorship for Hebrew Literature at LMU. Where does his writing come from? How does he experience the war on his own doorstep? What about Israel's identity between old and new myths? And can literature help us find new paths? We will listen to excerpts from his successful novels, read by Thomas Loibl, and experience the celebrated author in conversation with Philipp Lenhard.
