Shay K. Azoulay (Hebrew: שי אזולאי) is an Israeli fiction writer who writes in English and Hebrew. He is a winner of the 2006 Jerome Lowell DeJur Award. His debut play, "The Platoon", a satire about the IDF, received first place in the 2012 staged reading festival "Zav Kriah" and is currently showing in Tel Aviv's Tzavta Theater;[1] his one-act play "Shade" participated in the theater's 2012 Short play Festival. In 2013 Azoulay attempted to pass off a work of fiction regarding a forgotten Israeli science fiction writer as fact, submitting it to Tablet magazine, which exposed the hoax.[2] Azoulay also works as a Hebrew to English translator, translating non-fiction,[3] children's literature, and plays, including works by playwright Hanoch Levin.[4]
