Hunting in America Book Talk with Author Tehila Hakimi

Hunting in America is a thrillingly subversive novel about an Israeli woman who moves to America, takes up hunting, and is drawn into a world of predator, prey, and dark attraction. With a poet’s eye and a hunter’s aim, Tehila Hakimi’s beguiling debut novel is a taut, twisty story about the everyday violence that haunts countries, and one woman’s tenuous grasp on reality.

Tehila Hakimi is a Jewish Book Council Award–winning fiction writer and poet. In 2018, she was selected as a Fulbright Fellow for the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa. Hunting in America was published this year in the US, UK, and France.
