The Jewish Book Council has outdone itself with this year’s edition of Paper Brigade (table of contents pictured above).

The official release date for the first English translation (by Tina Lunson) of Jacob Dinezon’s bestselling Yiddish novel The Dark Young Man is just a few days away. (Psst: If you’re purchasing via Amazon or Kindle, you can actually already order your copy. Just scroll down this page.)
Shabbat shalom!
