Biography
Assaf Inbari was born and raised on Kibbutz Afikim,[1] the oldest of three children, and lived there until the age of 20.[2] He studied Hebrew literature and comparative literature at the Adi Lautman Interdisciplinary Program for Outstanding Students of Tel Aviv University. In 2008 he completed his Ph.D. on the poetry of Hayim Nahman Bialik at Bar-Ilan University.[2]
In 2005 he married Naomi. They have a son and a daughter. He lives on Kibbutz Degania B.
Literary career
In 2009 he published his first novel Home (Hebrew: הביתה). It relates the history of Afikim over three generations, from its founding in the Jordan Valley in the early 1930s by members of the socialist–Zionist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair, through its growth and development, to its present form, beset by privatization and individualism.[3] The novel was awarded the 2010 Israel Book Publishers Association's Platinum Prize[4] and was on the shortlist of finalists for the Sapir Prize for Literature.[5]
In 2020 Inbari was awarded the Agnon Prize for the Art of Prose.[6]
