Shereen Malherbe is a British Palestinian author whose work delves deeply into themes of identity, belonging, and cultural intersections. She explores the complexities of the human experience, offering powerful and layered portrayals of life in the Middle East and across diasporic communities.
Her appearance on the BBC documentary, The Holy Land and Us, shows this deeply personal connection which led to her latest novel, Yassini Girls. Yassini Girls was hailed by World Literature Today as ‘a language of survival and resistance,’ a testament to her impactful contributions to world literature and cross-cultural storytelling.
Malherbe has been selected as one of just nine international jurors for the Neustadt International Prize for Literature, an award often referred to as ‘the American Nobel’ for its divergence with the Nobel Prize for Literature. As World Literature Today’s executive director R.C. Davis-Undiano, noted, ‘Neustadt juries are made up of the very best writers in the world.‘ This recognition underscores Malherbe’s standing in shaping global literature.
