The Writer
- Premiere date: Thu, 30 Sep
- Number of Episodes: 10
- Country of origin: Israel
- Language: Arabic/Hebrew
The Writer is an auto fictional series from the creator of the award winning comedy Arab Labor, Sayed Kashua. It centres on Kashua’s fictional self, Kateb, who like the lead character Amjad from his former series Arab Labor is an Arab Palestinian living in Israel and struggling with an identity crisis which affects his and his whole family’s sense of belonging and nationality. Following the overnight success and critical acclaim of his hit TV series Arab Labor, Kateb has become something of a “poster boy” for the new age Arab Israeli, one who integrates with Israeli culture seamlessly and knows how to wield his pen in razor sharp criticism, yet be well received by the public and critics alike. Everything seems perfect, but as he nears 40, Kateb has a growing sense of shame and loathing towards the niche he has carved out for himself. Painfully aware of the gap between reality and its portrayal on the show.
