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: Fri, 6 May 2011 13:19:42 -0700 From: hanoe itst <[email protected]> Subject: Stories by Abraham Karpinovitch I am preparing a collection of English translations of Vilna stories by Abraham Karpinovitch In the introduction to the collection, I plan to include a discussion of Karpinovitch's aims and methodology as a writer. Amongst other themes, I will look at Karpinovitch's role as a memorialist, particularly of the lives of the amkho/common people. I will also discuss the ways in which he synthesized fact~T and fiction.. I would appreciate any record of Karpinovitch's own words (either written or recorded) on this topic. I would also like information on Abraham Karpinovitch's relationship to Birobadjan including why he went, when, and a few details of what he experienced there. Any assistance with these themes would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Helen Mintz at [email protected].
