Esty G. Hayim

Esty G. Hay­im is the author of four nov­els, a short sto­ry col­lec­tion, and a play. Her sixth nov­el, Sid (Hebrew Achuzat Bait), was pub­lished in March 2020. She stud­ied the­ater at Tel Aviv Uni­ver­si­ty and teach­es cre­ative writ­ing at Kib­butz­im Col­lege. Her lat­est nov­el, Cor­ner Peo­ple, was pub­lished to wide crit­i­cal acclaim and award­ed the 2014 Bren­ner Prize and the prime Min­is­ter Levi Eshkol Prize in 2015. She also received the Israeli Prime Minister’s Award in 2003 for her nov­el Our Sec­ond Lives (Hak­ib­butz Hamuhad-Hasifriya Hahadasha). Hay­im, whose short sto­ries have appeared in antholo­gies world­wide, has act­ed with the Cameri, a lead­ing Israeli reper­to­ry the­ater. Her nov­el Cor­ner Peo­ple was pub­lished in Italy and was one of two final­ists for the Adei-WIZO lit­er­ary prize in 1918.
