Alon Hilu

Israel

Alon Hilu recently received the Israeli Presidential Prize for Literature. His novel Death of a Monk is set in 1840s Damascus, and recounts a young man’s painful ordeal after he is forced to wed against his will. “Death of a Monk is a fascinating composite of history and hysteria, of a confessional novel and an actual historical event. It is a highly ambitious, excellent debut (Ha’aretz).”
