My latest book review has just appeared on The Jewish Journal‘s website. Here’s how it begins:
Natasha Solomons is a British writer whose first novel, published in the United States in 2010 as “Mr. Rosenblum Dreams in English,” should have received a wider readership. Inspired by the experience of the author’s grandparents, European Jews who fled Nazism for safety in England, that novel focused largely on the challenges and conflicts of assimilation. In the recently published “The House at Tyneford” (Plume, $15), Solomons returns to the Jewish refugee experience in England in the 1930s.

This sounds like a terrific opportunity:
LABA: The National Laboratory for New Jewish Culture at the 14th Street Y and the Jewish Plays Project are seeking five collaborative teams of theater artists for a three-week pilot residency program. Modeled on the Space residency at Mabou Mines (and to some extend ART-NY’s Creative Spaces Grant), the residency is designed to give selected artists time, space and support to create vibrant new work that extends the Jewish conversation through cutting-edge theater forms and techniques….Selected artists will also participate in the revolutionary artists’ Beit Midrash process developed at LABA, learning how ancient texts can inspire and inform their artistry.
There’s a lot to absorb on the website (scroll down) regarding eligibility and the application process, so be forewarned. But there’s NO FEE to apply. Proposals are due by 6 p.m. on March 15. Good luck!
Shabbat shalom!
