Shulamit Lapid
Author and playwright
One of Israel’s best-known contemporary writers of fiction, drama and poetry, Shulamit Lapid was born in Tel Aviv in 1934. After several collections of short stories, Lapid first gained readers’ attention with her popular novel, Gai oni. Her first play, Rekhush natush [Abandoned Property], explored the psychological dynamics between mother and daughters in a broken family on the margins of the social system, while her second play, Rehem pundaki [Surrogate Mother], engaged the contemporary issue of surrogate mothering by deftly rewriting the biblical model (Abraham, Sarah and Hagar). She published two more plays as well as several books for children and poetry.
