Hey all--I am teaching a famous Grace Paley short story on Sunday Dec 6 at Loyola Marymount University at a free zoom class--see below and sign up if interested!
LMU SUNDAY JEWISH BOOK GROUP: “THE LOUDEST VOICE” Join Loyola Marymount University’s Jewish Book Group sponsored by the Hannon Library for a discussion of the short story “The Loudest Voice” by Grace Paley, led by Lisa Silverman, former Library Director at AJU’s Burton Sperber Jewish Community Library. In Paley’s 1959 story, Shirley Abramowitz, a Jewish student in a public elementary school, is asked to be the narrator of her school’s Christmas pageant. In depicting American Jews trying to navigate the Christmas season, this story points to the many dilemmas faced by Jews and other immigrants living as minorities in America.
