Ruth Almog worked as an elementary school teacher and then studied Hebrew literature, theater and philosophy at Tel Aviv University. In 1967, she published her first short story in Haaretz newspaper, where she also began working as an assistant editor.
In 1970, she published her first collection of stories, Marguereta’s Night Grace, and a year later her first novel, The Exile, was published. Almog’s unique work, that draws on autobiography and seeks to decipher childhood as a formative event, became a basic model of writing in Hebrew literature.
Over the years she published children’s and young adult’s books, novels and story collections. A comprehensive selection of her short stories was published in 2002. She also writes regularly about books in the culture and literature section of Haaretz.
