Shulamit Giladi (later Lapid) was born in Tel Aviv. She majored in Oriental studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her father, David Giladi (born in Transylvania, Austria-Hungary), was a journalist, novelist, and translator, as well as one of the founders of the Israeli newspaper Maariv. In Lapid's book Veulai Lo Hayu she documents the story of her father's immigration to Israel, his integration into Israeli society, and her own childhood in Tel Aviv during the 1930s and 1940s. Lapid is the widow of Yosef Lapid, a journalist, politician and public figure. They had three children: Michal (who was killed in a car accident in 1984), Merav, and Yair – a well-known Israeli politician, novelist, journalist and television personality, now Prime Minister of Israel.
Literary career
Her first collection of stories, Dagim ("Fish"), was published in 1969. She writes historical novels, realistic prose addressing social issues and ethnic discrimination, and several detective novels.Gai Oni (1982) is the story of the Galilean village that became Rosh Pina. Lapid was one of the first Hebrew writers to address the role of women in the Zionist narrative. Lapid's second novel, Ka-Ḥeres ha-Nishbar ("As a Broken Vessel," 1984,) is the story of an antiquities dealer, Moses Wilhelm Shapira. Havat Haalamot (The Maidens' Farm) follows the protagonists of Gai Oni during the second Aliyah, who were part of a project to train women in farming near the Sea of Galilee Farm.[1]
Lapid wrote several children's books, and also the words for the song "Rosa Marzipan", which was composed by Shlomo Gronich.
Lapid's spy-themed literature is especially popular in Israel. She is the creator of the character Lizzy Badihi, who is featured in six of Lapid’s thriller novels. Badihi is a journalist of a Beersheba local newspaper called "HaZman Darom" (literally "The Southern Times"), and in each book she stubbornly insists on dealing with a detective mystery no one asked her to solve. The first book in this series, "Mekomon" (published 1989), helped to popularize the genre in Israel. Badihi solves several cases while "tottering in her oversized shoes and wearing oversized earrings."
Plays written by Lapid: HaYerusha (The Inheritance), Abandoned Property, Mifal Hayav (His Life Work), and A Surrogate's Womb.
Lapid was chairperson of the Hebrew Writers' Association.[2]
Awards and recognition
In 1987, Lapid won the Prime Minister's Prize for Literature. In 1996 she won the Newman Prize. In 2013 she won a Steimatzky Prize for her book Abandoned Furniture.[3] She also won the Book Publishers Association’s Gold and Platinum Prizes for Nunia.[4]
