For those of you in Israel: Check out this mini-conference on literary translation coming up at Bar Ilan University. (An email announcement that I received assures: “The conference is in English and is free of charge.”)
Reading through the January 2014 edition of the Generations of the Shoah International (GSI) newsletter this week, I realized that I might not yet have recommended this monthly e-publication for anyone wanting to follow events and publications relating to Holocaust commemoration and study. Or it has been a long time since I’ve done so.
On my tbr list: Claudia Roth Pierpont’s Roth Unbound. Especially after D.G. Myers’s review.
An intriguing post from Theater J, including student reflections on Motti Lerner’s play “The Admission.”
And in case you missed it: an all-too-brief preview of notable “Jewish books” coming in 2014.
I’ve just realized how perfectly a concept of such tyranny was explained by you in the opening paragraph of 5 Jewish Books to Read in 2014. And I bet we’re not oppressed only by the titles published in 2013.
Are you going to review Roth Unbound?
All the best,
S.
I’m hoping to read it soon, but at the moment, I don’t anticipate reviewing it.
I’d like to read it too. I just don’t know when (this year I hope). The tyranny of the to-read pile, you know…
I certainly do know!
