--Mendele Personal Notices & Announcements Jan. 3, 2011
To minimize wear and tear on the untershames, three requests: 1. Send time-sensitive notices well in advance. 2. Send material 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. ________________________________________________________________ Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2010 20:09:26 +0000 (GMT) From: "Lena Watson (Okolovich)" [email protected] RE: Contemporary Yiddish writers from Central, Eastern Europe by Gerben Zaagsma One of the most prominent authors from the former USSR writing in Yiddish (now based in Israel) is Michael (Mikhoel) Felsenbaum. He's very prolific, writing novels, short sroties, dramas and poems/songs, and has encyclopaedic knowledge of Yiddish and yiddishkayt. The late Dr. Joseph Sherman started working on the translation into English of M. Felsenbaum's latest novel, Shabesdike Shvebelekh, but sadly passed away before it was completed. The first three chapters in English can be found in The Mendele Review.
