}}Evan Fallenberg (born August 8, 1961 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American-born writer residing in Israel. His debut novel Light Fell, published in 2008, won the Stonewall Book Award[1] and the Edmund White Award, and was a shortlisted Lambda Literary Award nominee for Gay Debut Fiction at the 21st Lambda Literary Awards.[2]

His second novel, When We Danced on Water, was published in 2011.[3] He has also published English translations of several Israeli writers, including Ron Leshem and Batya Gur.[4]

Life

Originally from Cleveland, Ohio,[5] he was educated at Georgetown University. He also studied in Switzerland, worked in Japan and settled in Israel in 1985. He has an undergraduate degree in diplomacy from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, and an MFA in creative writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts.

He currently teaches creative writing and literary translation at Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel,[5] and is faculty co-director of the international low-residency MFA program in Creative Writing & Literary Translation at Vermont College of Fine Arts. Fallenberg recently renovated an ancient home in Acre as a writer's retreat.[6] and opened Arabesque, an Arts and Residency Center in the heart of Old Acre, Israel, in 2016.[7]

Fallenberg has served as a judge or advisor to a number of prize juries, including the Sami Rohr Prize and the Galtelli Literary Awards. He has received fellowships for residencies from the MacDowell Colony, the National Endowment for the Arts (at Vermont Studio Center), Fondation Ledig-Rowohlt (at Chateau de Lavigny, Switzerland), Banff Centre for the Arts (Canada) and Sun Yat-sen University of China, and has taken part in conferences and festivals around the globe.
