Paulina Tuchschneider was born in 1987 in Poland and immigrated to Israel in 1989 on the first direct flight from Warsaw to Tel Aviv.
Her debut novel, "Girl Soldier," achieved widespread acclaim, was translated into Spanish, published internationally, and later adapted into a short film. An essay on her work, "About Swimming," appeared in "Neue Rundschau," the prestigious literary journal of Fischer Verlag in Germany.
She was invited to a residency on the Costa Brava by the literary organization "Finestres." In the same castle where Truman Capote had worked on "In Cold Blood," she wrote and investigated a murder case that had occurred in her family. The book is scheduled for publication later this year.
Her most recent book, "KKK: Foundations of a Modern Woman," was published in Israel in May 2025 and quickly became a bestseller, with the first edition selling out within ten days.
Meanwhile, thanks to her mother-in-law’s son’s work in high-tech, Paulina moved with her cats to Thailand, where she now swims in the sea every day, complains about the lack of sidewalks, and is gradually reducing her use of Klonopin.
