The Queer Memoir: Amal.ia Ziv, Tom Salama and Yonatan Sagiv in conversation with Elad Bar-Noy

In their new memoir, “Teenagehood,” Dr. Amal.ia Ziv – a prominent researcher of gender and queer theory – looks at their youth, talks about all their male and female lovers, the dramas, and the search for self, and wonders whether they led them to come out as transgender.
Tom Salama is a designer, artist, and the scriptwriter of the television drama, “Miguel,” winner of the best television series prize at the Cannes Television Festival. In his first memoir, “The Boy Who Thought He Was a Fat Woman,” he goes back to his childhood as a poor, fat kid growing up with a single mother in macho, violent Kiryat Ata.
Yonatan Sagiv, a writer with a doctorate in Hebrew literature, is the author of a book series starring Detective Oded Hefer, known as the “Digger.” His book “Some People Talk This Way” is a memoir that starts on the day he lost his voice. The silence, it turns out, had many reasons: coping with sexual identity, a journey of masculinity training that was never possible, a life split between two countries, and others.
The three will talk to journalist and critic Elad Bar-Noy about sexual maturity on the fringe of society, and about the memoir as a literary form of self-discovery.
