 01\n\nIsrael's most celebrated novelist\, Meir Shalev was born in 1948 in 
 Nahalal\, Israel's first moshav. His books include A Pigeon and a Boy\, wi
 nner of the 2008 National Jewish Book Award\, and Russian Romance (The Blu
 e Mountain)\, one of the top five bestsellers in Israeli publishing histor
 y. His numerous awards include the Brenner Prize\, the Juliet Club Prize a
 nd the Chiavari Prize. \n\nHis nonfiction book of essays\, Beginnings: Ref
 lections on the Bible's Intriguing Firsts\, will be published by Doubleday
  in 2011. In this secular work\, Shalev shadows the heroes and heroines of
  the Old Testament\, directing our attention to the first kiss\, the first
  laugh\, the first love\, the first hate\, the first dream\, the first spy
 \, and more.\n\nThe Distinguished Writers Series\nThe series reminds the w
 orld that reading\, writing\, conversation and laughter are related arts. 
 The format is simple\, the emotional reward complex. The writers read\, ha
 ve a conversation with the series curator\, then engage in an open dialogu
 e with the audience.\n\n&ldquo\;The rigors of creativity are best apprecia
 ted at close range in small rooms where ideas swerve and loop and float wi
 th the kind of inventiveness and assurance that makes the mind swirl &hell
 ip\;&rdquo\; -Colin Channer\, Series Curator\n\nStart time: 4:30pm-6pm (ap
