I intended my username as a nonsense word. Later I was amused to learn that it's similar to the Hebrew word for "piggy" (haziron, חזירון).

I am a learner of the Hebrew language. My exercise on Wikipedia is to translate the Hebrew pages about various writers of modern Hebrew prose, or Israeli literature. I don't know a lot about the subject. This is a way for my fellow Hebrew students and me to learn more about it. My translations can be quite linear. I appreciate others' efforts to improve the selection of facts and smooth the language.

Working list of prominent Hebrew language authors

For a selection of prominent authors, please refer to Israeli literature. If that evolves into encyclopedic prose, a list form will still be in the revision as of 10:32, 3 Jan 2005. The following notes may also be useful.

Many of the authors there have main entries in Hebrew, but few in English. However, all of the author names (as spelled in English) except Barak (Bar Zohar) are linked in the English-language list of Hebrew language authors. I took the trouble of checking all of the spellings in Hebrew and English to make sure they match existing pages or referring pages.

For some prominent Israelis authors there are stubs, or only links, or no reference at all. For some of those I have used Google to verify the Hebrew spelling of the name.

Having stubs in English

These are in Category:People stubs or Category:Stub.

Having stubs in Hebrew

These are in he:Category:People stubs .

These are generally in he:Category:Hebrew writers.

Spelling can be verified by searching guesses in Google or in the Mt. Scopus Library catalog.
