<p class="MsoNormal">Award winning Hebrew writer and translator Asaf Gavron will be at Smith College to talk about his novel The Hilltop, set in a fictional West Bank Jewish settlement. It is one of the first Israeli novels to explore the inner world and motivations of the settler movement, allowing audiences into a corner of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that is often a core issue of contention between the sides. Gavron will talk about the challenging intersection of art and politics in contemporary Hebrew literature, and especially the ways in which writers can help us better understand hot-button issues on the international agenda by moving beyond political sloganeering. Co-sponsored by the Programs in Jewish Studies, Comparative Literature, Middle East Studies, and the Lewis Global Studies Center. For more information on Assaf Gavron, visit the author's webpage at www.assafgavron.com.NPR called The Hilltop one of the best books of 2014.</p>
