Words of the Week

A slightly unconventional choice this week, perhaps, but it was simply so generous of Julie Zuckerman to put this image together that I’m extra-motivated to share it along with the text that she wrote to accompany it:

“Little known fact, but did you know that May is both #ShortStoryMonth and #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth? In that case, I have some reading recommendations for you! Story collections by Edith Pearlman, R.L. Maizes, Erika Dreifus, Rachel Hall, Miryam Sivan, Dalia Rosenfeld, Peter Orner and yours truly. (Some of the stories in some of the collections do not take place in the US, but most do…)”

(I’ve read six of the eight listed here. How about you?)
