[ha-Safran] Is the collection The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land - Short Stories, by Omer Friedlander written by Hebrew ?
Shalom, Recently a few Israeli authors publish their books in English (like Ayelet Tzabari). Is Omer Friedlander’s book The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land written only in English ?

Re: [ha-Safran] Is the collection The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land - Short Stories, by Omer Friedlander written by Hebrew ?
Hi Amalia, I believe Omer Friedlander writes in English. While he was born in Jerusalem and grew up in Tel Aviv, he has a BA in English Literature from the University of Cambridge and an MFA from Boston University. He currently lives in New York. Go to https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.omerfriedlander.com/aboutomer__;!!KGKeukY!2x9eF9x-DJQGJtqB-EMvbiyOYnpv_4a0nz-FRFMjMILF1uTJ7gXUoTzu5DMaUsH70PQIhDrZU2bCtP9LrwkZxg$ to learn more. I discovered him when his short story “Alte Sachen<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/books/literary-awards/ct-books-algren-2020-omer-friedlander-20200619-ke627wquzrajvisj7znkfxcr6a-story.html__;!!KGKeukY!2x9eF9x-DJQGJtqB-EMvbiyOYnpv_4a0nz-FRFMjMILF1uTJ7gXUoTzu5DMaUsH70PQIhDrZU2bCtP9H5YPNHg$ >” was one of the finalists for the Chicago Tribune’s Nelson Algren Literary Award and the story was published in the paper in June 2020. I located two of his other stories online (“Jellyfish in Gaza<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://baltimorereview.org/index.php/winter_2020/contributor/omer-friedlander*Jellyfish*20in*20Gaza__;IyUl!!KGKeukY!2x9eF9x-DJQGJtqB-EMvbiyOYnpv_4a0nz-FRFMjMILF1uTJ7gXUoTzu5DMaUsH70PQIhDrZU2bCtP_5j6aDEg$ >” and “Operation Tamar<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.thecommononline.org/operation-tamar/__;!!KGKeukY!2x9eF9x-DJQGJtqB-EMvbiyOYnpv_4a0nz-FRFMjMILF1uTJ7gXUoTzu5DMaUsH70PQIhDrZU2bCtP8N34GYXw$ >”) and discussed them with my short story discussion group during the pandemic. So I was really excited to see that his debut collection of stories, The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land, was being published this year by Random Hoyse. "Alte Sachen" and "Jellyfish in Gaza" are still my favorites but "Jaffa Oranges," "Checkpoint," “The Sephardi Survivor,” and the title story are excellent too. While some of the other stories aren't as strong, Friedlander is a fresh, new young voice and this solid collection definitely deserves a place alongside Israeli and expat writers like Etgar Keret, Ayelet Tsabari, Eshkol Nevo, and Nicole Krauss. I highly recommend it!

The book does not show in the two largest Israeli chains of book stores’ Hebrew books catalog. Also most Israeli public libraries that hold books in ENGLISH don’t have the book. I hope to get reviews soon. Thanks to those who replied and to all of you have a meaningful Yom Kippur, Amalia W.

[ha-Safran] Is the collection The Man Who Sold Air in the Holy Land, Short Stories, by Omer Friedlander written by Hebrew ? (Amalia Warshenbrot)
This is an answer to Amalia Warshenbrot's question. I just went to see Omer Friedlander speak last week. The book is written in English. He said that as of now, it has been translated into some other languages, but still has not been translated into Hebrew.

Friends, It is strange that a book by an Israeli author has yet to be translated into Hebrew when it was translated to several languages. It took several years till Ayelet Tsabari’s stories were translated. Thanks for the info. Any additional info will be appreciated. I’ll get the Ha’Arez article later today. Amalia W.

Dear Hasafran: Forgive the slightly offtopic intrusion:: Is there a Gematria expert among us who would be available to read a Memoir ? This would be a 300+ page Memoir on Synesthesia with a short talk about Gematria in the end of the book. Its basically a question of "Can I say this?" "Does this sound accurate?" (for a mostly vegoyim audience) Personal reply to me or feel free to forward to someone who you think would enjoy this topic: Synesthesia : A Memoir Thanks for reading!
