Inside Information

A honeymoon in South America that should have been romantic becomes more nightmarish by the minute. A senior doctor at a Tel Aviv hospital feels a powerful, inexplicable urge to protect a young female resident who has recently joined the internal medicine department. A married couple goes out for their regular Saturday morning walk in the orchards on the outskirts of town. The man walks back into the orchard for a moment—and disappears without a trace. Eshkol Nevo’s darkest, most thrilling novel to date, Inside Information weaves together three turbulent and unconventional love stories, diving deep into the enigma that lies at the heart of all intimacy, whether between a man and a woman, a parent and a child, or a person and what they’ve lost.

Born in 1971 in Jerusalem, Eshkol Nevo is the author of five novels. His best-selling debut novel Homesick (2004) was awarded the Reimond vallier prize in France, shortlisted for the Sapir prize in Israel, and longlisted for the independent prize in the UK. His second bestselling novel World Cup Wishes (2007) won the Golden Book Prize in Israel and was awarded the Adei-Wizo Prize in Italy. His novel Neuland (2011) sold more than 130,000 copies in Israel, and was awarded the Steimatzky Prize for Book of the Year. Nevo’s fourth bestselling novel Three Floors Up, was adapted into a film by the renown Italian director Nanni Moretti titled ‘Tre Piani’. The Last Interview came out in English in October 2020. Nevo’s Sixth novel, Inside Information, is inspired by a legend from the Talmud. The complex novel is com­prised of three sus­pense­ful and mas­ter­ful­ly craft­ed nar­ra­tives. Nevo is the grandson of the third Prime Minister of Israel, Levi Eshkol. In his childhood he spent several years in Detroit. Several of his books have been adapted to the stage, and presented at Beit Lasin and in HaBima. Nevo teaches writing in Israel’s most prestigious art school, and runs popular writing workshops in Israel.
