Gail Hareven, a prominent Israeli novelist whose fiction has appeared in The New Yorker, is an artist-in-residence at Mount Holyoke College through early November.

 

Hareven, who lives in Jerusalem, is the author of six novels and several short story collections, plays, and children’s books. Haraven is being hosted by MHC’s Jewish studies program, in cooperation with Hampshire College and the Judaic studies department at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Her visit is sponsored by the Schusterman Foundation’s Visiting Artists Program, a residency program which brings Israeli artists to the United States.
