Edeet Ravel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edeet Ravel is an Israeli-Canadian novelist.
Ravel was born in Sasa, Israel, a kibbutz near the Lebanese border. At age seven her family relocated to Montreal, Quebec. She returned to Israel to attend university in Jerusalem, studying English Literature, and then returned to Montreal, completing her Ph.D. in Jewish Studies at McGill University and studying Creative Writing at Concordia University. She subsequently taught at McGill, Concordia and John Abbott College.
Her novel Ten Thousand Lovers was nominated for the 2003 Governor General's Award for English fiction, the Koret Jewish Book Award, and the Books in Canada First Novel Award. Her second novel, Look for Me, received the Hugh MacLennan Award and her third novel, A Wall of Light, was a nominee for the 2005 Scotiabank Giller Prize and the Commonwealth Writers Prize. It won the 2006 Canadian Jewish Book Award.
The three novels form a trilogy about the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the effects of war on ordinary lives. The novels broach difficult subjects, including the torture of Palestinians and the Separation Wall. All three books call for mutual understanding and an end to the post-67 Occupation.
Edeet Ravel lives in Guelph, Ontario.
