Books by Adi Sorek

• Seven matrons, novel, Yedioth Books , (editor of the book: Lili Fri , 2001) - consists of two parallel storylines: one depicts a young woman living in south Tel Aviv and failed to direct a film and the second describes fragments of childhood memories. Toward the end of the novel, the plots and heroines converge in a hospital where the girl was hospitalized. The book created from this dual journey - from the girl to the adult and the adult to the child - becomes a raft that enables extraction and maturation. Ignatz, the beggar from Agnon's book "Guest is inclined to sleep," is one of the characters in the book - along with seven funny matrons, foreign workers who live nearby and more.

• Spaces, Resling , 2004, in "Spaces, Airports, Mall - Story and Two Essays" in collaboration with Idan Tzvioni and Oded Mende-Levi - describes a fragmentary journey in various houses in the course of their construction, as well as Azrieli Towers . The heroine, a painter who specializes in artistic painting, describes her encounters with workers, landlords, foreign workers and architects, and paints a poignant picture of Israeliness and its scaffolding. The text is written in a way that combines mass and prose.

• Domestic tourism, a collection of stories, information books , (ed schools Michal Ben-Naftali 2005) - a collection of several short stories and three cycles are prepared in alphabetical order: "alphabet Tel Aviv" alphabet woman "and "Alphabet of Haifa". Each cycle has its own writing rules, which determine the issues of values that comprise the lexicon it produces. The movement of language in this case creates transitions between intimate and moving texts and texts of a laconic nature and creates a kind of private-public dictionary and map.

• Sometimes you lose people - Yedioth Books ( Noit Barel ) 2013 - In apartments that pass from them and disappear into them, out of painful recognition of a house and a lost period, through apparently marginal moments, is cast "sometimes losing people" - a book that focuses on real and imaginary situations As one. Adi Sorek touches on the most troubling issues in contemporary Israeli society and creates an intimate and moving book. Winner of the Goldberg Prize.
