מירי ליטווק

(Mirie Litvak…) is a skilled observer. She has a keen ear and an eye at ease with new impressions. She has subtle but genial points to make about the world.
Ha’Aretz

Litvak’s strength lies in her insight. She excels in portraying the Israeli… is sensitive to the blunt ethnocentricity of the Israeli male. She stings with delicacy and wisdom when she describes the lack of attentiveness of the ordinary Israeli.
Ma`ariv

Litvak does not pander to her reader. Her writing is truly authentic, drenched in bodily odors, whiffs of scent and a thousand and one stimuli of all the senses. She is cynical, sometimes sarcastic and bitter.
`Arim

Litvak’s fiction is an act of revelation, a bridge between cultures. An understanding of the soul in crisis, undergoing the electric shock of personal migration.
