Ilana Pardes is Katharine Cornell Professor of Comparative Literature and the director of the Center for Literary Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She is the author of Countertraditions in the Bible and The Song of Songs: A Biography.
A 'migrant gleaner' in her own right, Pardes moves easily from one cultural landscape to another and harvests insight wherever she goes. Her readings of Ruth's re-imaginings are consistently excellent. -Steven Weitzman, author of The Origin of the Jews A virtuoso exploration of the Book of Ruth as an admirable touchstone in the realms of literature, art, and human values. Ilana Pardes foregrounds the timeless emergency of migrants and refugees with compassion and depth. -Galit Hasan-Rokem, author of Web of Life
