Good morning, chaverim: For those who attended some of the same sessions I did yesterday, here are a couple of points that I wanted to bring to everyone's attention.
1. First, there is a new Goodreads Giveaway for Jean Meltzer's THE MATZAH BALL (and yes, based on all that I heard yesterday afternoon, I have already entered!): https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/325491-the-matzah-ball__;!!KGKeukY!gn3tDem3gn7t8ONs1bpihWYGmlUQa9FjixXLXKEwJnmB-W4uVV8mZH3yiP2rzVtyN64$ . 2. Second, for those who may have missed the comment in chat in real time, I am sharing a link to a news report on a recent (and virulent) anti-Israel statement that the author of AJL Fiction Award runner-up title APEIROGON has given his signature to support ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/newsbrief/index.html?record=3291__;!!KGKeukY!gn3tDem3gn7t8ONs1bpihWYGmlUQa9FjixXLXKEwJnmB-W4uVV8mZH3yiP2rs26BseM$ - you will find another link to the actual statement within). Moreover, I will also point everyone to a review of APEIROGON by Israeli author Shani Boianjiu for THE TEL AVIV REVIEW OF BOOKS ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.tarb.co.il/dj-christian-ngo/__;!!KGKeukY!gn3tDem3gn7t8ONs1bpihWYGmlUQa9FjixXLXKEwJnmB-W4uVV8mZH3yiP2rbiSoCWc$ ). For multiple reasons, APEIROGON is not a book that I would choose for my own classes or groups, but I understand that others may make different choices; my hope is that anyone leading a discussion on this book would be sure to reference Boianjiu's piece in the process. Looking forward to continuing our discussions shortly, ERIKA -- *Erika Dreifus* | Reader. Writer. Teacher. Resource Maven.
