Writing in Tongues by Anita Norich
Examines the complexities of translating Yiddish literature at a time when the Yiddish language is in decline. The author traces historical and aesthetic shifts through versions of these canonical texts, and she argues that these works and their translations form a conversation about Jewish history and identity."An excellent book. . at no point is the discussion overly technical. First presented as part of the prestigious Stroum Lectures at the University of Washington, the chapter-lectures that make up Writing in Tongues are aimed at a general-but-educated audience. Norich writes clearly and simplifies abstruse ideas."
