Hello Friends, A little while ago I posted a note here from Nikki Galland requesting leads on books about Jews in India and elsewhere. Many of you replied, and I sent your notes to her.
She asked me to forward this note to the list: ++++++++ Dear Silklisters: Our mutual friend John Sundman has been passing along to me the many interesting and attractive books you've all recommended about Jews in India and elsewhere (non-Europe or USA). I was not expecting anything close to that as a response and I'm so grateful! The project that I wanted these for as reference has had to suddenly been put on a back burner, but I really treasure having all those suggestions for a time in the future when I can return to it. And may I say how great it is that there is such an entity as Silklisters! Cheers Nicole Galland ++++++++++++++++ As I mentioned, Nikki is co-author with Neal Stephenson of the novel The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. , which recently made the New York Times bestseller list, kind of a big deal here. I recently posted to youtube a conversation I had with her last spring, just as her book was being published. If you’re curious as to what she looks and sounds like, you can watch it here: https://youtu.be/V2auctVL_EM (You also get to hear my voice in an authentic New Jersey accent. . .)
