Article

Anton Shammas is a Palestinian poet, novelist, academic and translator. He is best known for his 1986 novel ערבסקות/Arabeskot [Arabesques], the first high-profile novel written by a Palestinian in the Hebrew language. Shammas' literary career—as a writer, translator, and scholar—has largely focused on themes of Palestinian and Israeli identity, and the relationship of such identities to language and translation.
