Meir Shalev

Meir Shalev (born 1948 in Nahalal, Israel) is an Israeli writer. He is the son of the Jerusalem poet Yitzchak Shalev.

Life

He began his career by presenting ironic features on television and radio. He also moderated the program Erev Shabbat ("Friday night") on Israel channel one. In 1988 his first novel was published, The Blue Mountain (Hebrew title Roman Russi). He has written non-fiction and children's books, as well.
