Noa Yedlin is an Israeli author, the recipient of the Sapir Prize (the Israeli Man Booker) and the Prime Minister’s Literature Award. She is the author of the bestselling House Arrest, People Like Us, The Wrong Book and Stockholm, which was recently published in the US (HarperVia). Yedlin was named by Haaretz Magazine one of “66 Israeli Women You Should Know”.
Yedlin is also the creator of a two-season TV series based on her bestselling novel Stockholm (the Israeli Best Mini-Series TV Award). A German remake of the series (You Don’t Die Among Friends) won Best Scripted Format at the 2021 International Format Awards and Best European Series at La Rochelle Festival De La Fiction 2021. The series has also been re-made by SVT Sweden. Her bestselling novel People Like Us is currently being adapted into a TV series in Israel. A stage adaption of House Arrest is now playing at Beit Lessin Theater in Tel Aviv.
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.
