The Writer tells the auto-fictional story of the well-known Israeli writer Sayed Kashua , whose alter ego Kateb , an Arab Israeli , is in a life crisis that affects the sense of belonging and nationality of his entire family.

In the time before his 40th birthday, Ketab developed a sense of shame and disgust for his work as a writer and comedian . His problem is a new awareness of the contradiction between the reality of his real life and its portrayal in his successful satirical TV series.

reception

The Writer looks reality in eyes. Not the political-social-economic reality that we're fed up with, but the one within us.
