Arnon Yasha Yves Grunberg (born 22 February 1971) is a Dutch writer of novels, essays, and columns. He grew up in Amsterdam in a Jewish immigrant family and was kicked out of high school at age seventeen. After a very short acting career, he started his own publishing company, Kasimir, in 1990 and wrote several plays. In 1994, he published his first novel, Blue Mondays, for which he received several Dutch prizes, including the Anton Wachter Prize and De Gouden Ezelsoor, awarded to the best-selling literary debut. Since then, he has written sixteen novels, including Silent Extras (1997), Phantom Pain (2000), Tirza (2006), and The Jewish Messiah (2008). In addition to his novels, he has written many essays, columns, poems, screen-plays, and plays. His essays have appeared in international magazines such as The New York Times, Le Monde, Libération, The Times, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Courrier International, Revista Contexto and Süddeutsche Zeitung. In 2022, he received the PC Hooftprijs, a Dutch literary lifetime achievement award, and the Johannes Vermeer prize, the Dutch state prize for the arts.
Co-presented by The Martin E Segal Theatre Center, The Vaclav Havel Center, and The Bohemian Benevolent and Literary Association. Supported by the Drusilla Harvey Fund.
