Aryeh Lev Stollman's first novel, The Far Euphrates (Riverhead/Penguin Putnam Inc.) is an American Library Association Notable Book of 1997, a Los Angeles Times Book Review Recommended Book of the Year and winner of a Wilbur Award and a Lambda Award. The New York Times Book Review has called The Far Euphrates "radiant . . . remarkable both for Stollman's eloquently understated prose and for the ease with which he constructs his artful plot." The Far Euphrates has been translated into German, Dutch, Italian, Portuguese and Hebrew.
His second novel, The Illuminated Soul, is the winner of Hadassah Magazine's 2003 Harold U. Ribalow Prize. The Boston Sunday Globe calls The Illuminated Soul, "an admirable novel of ideas . . . profound."

Stollman's short fiction and essays have appeared in Story, American Short Fiction, The Yale Review, The Southwest Review, and The Forward. His short story collection "The Dialogues of Time and Entropy" was published in February 2003. In 2003 Stollman was the first recipient of the Chaim Potok Literary Award given by the Jewish Community Centers of Greater Philadelphia. His story "Lotte Returns!" was commissioned by National Public Radio and broadcast on their Hanukkah Lights 2008 series.
