Dear Friends, I will be presenting on new Israeli literature in translation for the American Jewish University "B'Yachad Together<https://www.aju.edu/byachad-together>" Program on Wednesday, October 14 at 2:30pm PT/4:30pm CT. Lost (and Found) in Translation: New Israeli Literature in English It's an established fact in the literary world that Americans just aren't that motivated to read fiction in translation. Only three percent of all books published in the United States each year are in translation but the small number of books being translated from Hebrew has been steadily increasing. We'll discuss some of these new books that are now available to those of us who aren't quite fluent enough to read them in their original Hebrew as well as trends in Israeli literature and books written in English by native Hebrew speakers. This is an updated version of the presentation that I gave at the 2019 AJL Conference in Woodland Hills. I would love to see some familiar faces on my screen (but no pressure since there is a registration cost!) To sign-up, go to https://www.aju.edu/byachad-together/events/Lost-and-Found-in-Translation-New-Israeli-Literature-in-English. Note: The deadline to register is Thursday 10/8, after which a late fee applies.
