Hebrew Literature in Translation

A few years ago, when I had the good fortune to discover the works of Israeli writer Orly Castel-Bloom, I had the corresponding luck to find a terrific resource for information on other Israeli authors, too: the “Hebrew Authors” directory on the Institute for the Translation of Hebrew Literature Web site. Check it out the next time you want to learn more about books originally published in Hebrew (or if you want to start such an exploration). I use it, for example, to check when I’ll be able to locate Castel-Bloom’s new work in translation, as well as to deepen my acquaintance with other authors I come across.
