[Linda Grant](http://www.lettre-ulysses-award.org/authors06/grant.html?ref=opendemocracy.net), a writer who has been [previously published](../../../author/Linda%5FGrant.jsp) by openDemocracy, just [won the Lettre Ulysses Award](http://www.lettre-ulysses-award.org/news.html?ref=opendemocracy.net) for the Art of Reportage.

*The British journalist and writer Linda Grant, a non-religious Diaspora Jew, travels to Tel Aviv in 2003\. Her visit becomes an opportunity for a systematic and in-depth exploration of Jewish identity and its relationship with the state of Israel. Her book is a journey through an extraordinary and problematic society, through the languages and biographies of its inhabitants, their archetypes and histories, their doubts and their hopes. Observations from a troubled land that is determined to defend its existence and that is ensnared in a conflict that seems to promise tragic consequences rather than peaceful prospects.*
