Timeline

1948

Meir Shalev (מאיר שלו; 29 July 1948 – 11 April 2023) was an Israeli writer and newspaper columnist for the daily Yedioth Ahronoth.

Shalev's books have been translated into 26 languages.

Shalev was born in Nahalal, Israel.

Later he lived in Jerusalem and at Ginosar with his family.

He is the son of the Jerusalem poet Yitzhak Shalev.

His cousin Zeruya Shalev is also a writer.

1966

Shalev was drafted into the IDF in 1966, and did his military service in the Golani Brigade.

He served as a soldier, a squad leader in the brigade's reconnaissance company.

Shalev fought in The Six Day War, and a few months after the war was injured in a friendly fire incident.

Shalev began his career by presenting ironic features on television and radio.

He also moderated the program Erev Shabbat ("Friday night") on Israel channel one.

1988

His first novel, The Blue Mountain, was published in 1988.

Shalev also wrote non-fiction, children's books, and a weekly column in the weekend edition of Yediot Ahronot.

Shalev lived in the Jezreel Valley until his death on 11 April 2023, following a prolonged battle with cancer.

He was 74.

Upon news of Shalev's death, Israeli President Isaac Herzog expressed condolences: "Israel has lost one of its greatest storytellers, he made us love the Hebrew language, the Hebrew Bible, and ourselves, the Jewish People".

2009

According to a January 2009 interview, Shalev identified with the Israeli left and believed that the conflict with the Palestinians could be resolved by establishing two states for two peoples.

However, he expressed disappointment towards the extremism in the Palestinian camp, saying: "Radical Palestinians still say that the only solution would be for all Jews to pack their bags and return to where their grandparents came from. When there are no more Jews left in the Middle East, then the problem is solved, according to their logic. As long as they continue to think that way, there will be no peace. We are here and we are going to stay. Only after that fact is generally accepted can progress be made."
