New Bilingual Book of Dybbuk Parodies Tsiterboym Books announces the publication of Parodies of An-sky’s “The Dybbuk,” which includes four parodies of the play, translated with notes by Fernando Peñalosa. The original text and the translation are on facing pages. Three are in Yiddish: “Der dibek”/“The Dybbuk”, a poem by Yoysef Tunkel; Mitn koyekh fun dibek/With the Dybbuk’s Power, a one-act play by Menakhem Kipnis and Moyshe Bunem Yustman; and “Der dibek afn hoyf”/“The Dybbuk in the Courtyard,” a narrative spoof by Menakhem Kipnis. The other parody is in Hebrew: Hadibbuk behakumkum/The Dybbuk at the Kumkum, by Avigdor Hameiri. All the parodies poke good-natured criticism at the play, the characters, and well known theatre persons and political figures from life in interwar Eastern Europe and Mandate Palestine. 0 pp., illustrated. Tsiterboym Press, 2012. Available at Amazon.com. $10.00
