Send time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material as plain text to victor.bers at yale.edu as plain text (no HTML, other coding, or attachments) and write MENDELE PERSONALS in the subject line. 3. Correspond directly with the person who or organization which has posted the notice, *not* with your ever-beleaguered untershames. ______________________________ From: Ellen Cassedy Date: Mon, Oct 29, 4:14 PM ?On the Landing: Stories by Yenta Mash? Yenta Mash (1922-2013) was a giant among women writing in Yiddish, a prize-winning writer whose work is now available in English for the first time. Her autobiographical stories trace an arc from prewar Bessarabia to the Siberian gulag to Soviet Moldova to Israel in the 1970?s. They are keenly relevant to our times, when displaced people seek refuge across the globe. ?On the Landing: Stories by Yenta Mash,? translated by Ellen Cassedy, has just been published by Northern Illinois University Press. Please attend this book talk by translator Ellen Cassedy: Tuesday, November 13, 2018 7-8 p.m. Book Culture bookstore 450 Columbus Avenue (between 81 and 82nd) New York, NY 10024 Free.
