Chow down on cheesy garlic bread with award-winning writer Jeffrey Ford as we discuss why writing has gotten more daunting (but more fun) as he's gotten older, the difficulties of teaching writing remotely during a pandemic, how he often doesn't realize what he was really writing about in a story until years after it was written, the realization that made him write a sequel to Moby-Dick, why if you have confidence and courage you can do anything, the music he suggests you listen to while writing, the reason he thinks world building is a "stupid term," the advice given to him by his mentor John Gardner, how the writing of Isaac Bashevis Singer taught him not to blink, why he prefers giving readings to doing panels, the writer who advised him if everybody liked his stories it meant he was doing something wrong, and much more.

Fika with Vicky Welcomes Guest Author Reva Leah Stern to episode 78 Reva has been a writer, editor, director & designer, working in Florida, Kansas City, Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles & Toronto. We'll be discussing all of Reva's work, but focussing on her creative non-fiction The Water Buffalo That Shed Her Girdle and her mystery/thriller The Prescott Journals. Yes, I've read them both and felt drawn in by Reva's world creating. They're about life…the unspeakable, the unbearable, as well as the moving on, finding humour and even scandals. Though I think the most scandalous thing of all is that Reva drinks decaffeinated coffee. Imagine! About The Prescott Journals - Secrets run deep in the small town of Prescott, and Sarah Berman, an intrepid city reporter, has stumbled into a culvert of horrendous secrets, vile crimes, and abhorrent antisemitism, in her old hometown. Acting on an irrepressible impulse, she travels there to get the story and get out fast. But she soon learns, it's not that simple. As she reconnects with her past, stories of pain and terror arise and move to the forefront of her riveting investigation. About The Water Buffalo That Shed Her Girdle - Rachel Morganstein forages through her library of muddled thoughts to try and find some semblance of sanity in the odd turn her life has taken. She has just discovered that her youngest child, Aaron, is about to get married and she has not been invited. In the twenty-two years of living at home with his mother and siblings it was never apparent that such a volcanic reaction was brewing in Aaron's mind or heart. But, at twenty-three, hell erupted and Rachel was dubbed Satan. While pondering the depth of her son's rejection, Rachel begins to scrutinize her own childhood memories in the hope of finding a clue as to what could cause such vitriol to surface after so many years. The tumultuous train wreck of Rachel's life steams down the track carrying us through tunnels of dry wit, untapped sadness and sanguine arrivals. This Water Buffalo has indeed stepped away from the herd while searching for an oasis. About Reva - Ms. Stern was Artistic Director of a Toronto theatre for over twenty years.

Gimpel es el tonto que todos ponemos como cordero de sacrifico para ocultar nuestra tontería. Gimpel cree lo que quiere creer. ¿Estamos seguros que lo que creemos es lo que es o solo es la ilusión de nuestros deseos? ¿Es la realidad lo que creemos o es lo que queremos creer? ¿Quién es el tonto? ¿Gimpel o acaso todos somos unos ilusos que vivimos engañados primero por fuerza y luego por decisión propia? Solo cuando somos Gimpel, comprendemos, pero lo callamos... No hagan olas...no hagan olas...pues todos somos azuzadores y Gimpel a la vez. Bienvenidos.

Yentl is a 1983 film directed and starring screen actor and Broadway mainstay Barbra Streisand. Based on the Isaac Bashevis Singer short story Yentl The Yashiva Boy, Yentl the film follows the story of an Ashkenazi Jewish woman in Poland in 1904 who decides to disguise herself as a man so that she can receive an education in Talmudic law. Various misunderstandings follow as the titular Yentl attempts to keep her ruse afloat, and gets wrapped up in romances both unrequited and reluctant. The film also featured a supporting cast of Mandy Patinkin, Amy Irving, Nehemiah Persoff, and Miriam Margolyes, among various others.On a new episode of Hell Is A Musical, Lilz and Scott take in a viewing of Yentl with all-star guest David Allen Prescott, who is incredibly upset to both find a Barbra film that doesn't hold up, and never fully embraces its own latent queerness. Join them as Scott gives the behind-the-scenes scoop on just how much Barbra Streisand whiffed the subject matter, Lilz puts her foot down against the music of Stevland Hardaway Morris, and David debuts a raunchy and unwelcome new personae....with Lilz and Scott!

CataluccioA cura di Elisabetta ZeviÈ l'autunno del 1926 quando Israel Joshua Singer, su invito del direttore del «Forverts» − quotidiano yiddish di New York −, si reca in Unione Sovietica per un reportage che lo impegnerà diversi mesi. «Queste immagini e impressioni sono state scritte di getto, sul momento, come accade nei viaggi» dirà, non senza understatement, a commento del suo lavoro, che invece costituisce una testimonianza eccezionale, per molti versi unica. Perché Singer, che aveva osservato a fondo il paese dei soviet già nel pieno della tempesta rivoluzionaria, non solo ci mostra ora uno scenario drasticamente mutato, ma coglie in nuce, con occhio penetrante, quelli che saranno i tratti peculiari del regime staliniano: la burocrazia imperante, la pervasività dell'apparato poliziesco, gli ideali comunisti sempre più di facciata, i rigurgiti antisemiti. Percorrendo le campagne bielorusse e ucraine punteggiate di fattorie collettive e colonie ebraiche, visitando le principali città del paese – Mosca, «grande, straordinaria e bellissima»; Kiev, che «non riesce ad accettare il nuovo ruolo di città di provincia»; Odessa, «cortigiana esuberante» divenuta «profondamente osservante e devotamente socialista» –, immergendoci in una prodigiosa polifonia di testimonianze, Singer ci restituisce un quadro vivido e composito, pieno di chiaroscuri, della nascente società sovietica. E porta così alla luce le feroci contraddizioni che proliferano sotto lo sguardo vigile e ubiquo delle nuove icone laiche del «santo Vladimir».«Per me non era solo il fratello maggiore, ma un padre spirituale e un maestro» (Isaac Bashevis Singer).Israel Joshua Singer, è nato a Bilgoraj, in Polonia, nel 1893. Fratello maggiore di Isaac (premio Nobel per la letteratura nel 1978), ha vissuto in Polonia e in Unione Sovietica ed è emigrato nel 1934 negli Stati Uniti, dove è morto nel 1944. Ingiustamente trascurato e messo in ombra dalla fama del fratello, è stato prolifico e grande autore di romanzi e racconti in lingua yiddish, introducendo nella narrativa yiddish elementi innovativi e caratteristici del suo stile: i diversi livelli di trame e sottotrame, l'ampio respiro delle vicende, i continui ribaltamenti dei piani e dei punti di vista, nonché le indimenticabili gallerie di personaggi.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.it

Historias Minimas por Pablo Durio sobre Isaac Bashevis Singer

Marino Freschi"Max e Flora"Isaac Bashevis SingerAdelphihttps://adelphi.itA Max basta vederla, quella Rashka appena quindicenne, per rimanerne abbagliato. E dire che finora tutto filava liscio: lui e la sua bella Flora, moglie e amica, complice e amante, sono tornati a Varsavia per procurarsi della «merce» per la loro fabbrica di borsette – in realtà, carne fresca per il florido bordello che gestiscono a Buenos Aires. Appena arrivati, si sono immersi, come un tempo, nel mondo di via Krochmalna, cuore pulsante del ghetto di Varsavia, sorta di corte dei miracoli, dove, all'inizio del Novecento, aleggia ancora un buon «odore di birra, mostarda, bagel caldi e pretzel» e trafficano i loro vecchi amici, gente come Meir Panna Acida, Leah Lingualunga, Itche il Guercio e Srulke il Tonto. Ma, come recita un antico detto yiddish, «dieci nemici non possono fare a un uomo il male che può fare a se stesso». E così sarà di Max Shpindler, un'altra delle indimenticabili figure della vasta commedia umana che Singer ha saputo mettere in scena: cinico e donnaiolo, in apparenza pienamente soddisfatto di sé e della propria ricchezza, pronto a finanziare un gruppo di anarchici se questo gli consente di far soldi, Max è in realtà tormentato da dubbi, e da domande a cui non trova risposta, e da tentazioni di morte – un tumulto che proprio l'incontro con l'irresistibile Rashka porterà con prepotenza alla luce. Dopo Keyla la Rossa e Il ciarlatano, un terzo, strepitoso inedito del grande scrittore polacco.Marino Freschi, 1942, germanista triestino, si è formato al Roma, Zurigo, Berlino ha insegnato all'Università Orientale di Napoli, all'Università Suor Orsola Benincasa di Napoli e Università degli Studi di Roma Tre, dal 2015 è Professore Emerito di Letteratura tedesca nello stesso ateneo.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

The twentieth-century artist Bruno Schulz was born an Austrian, lived as a Pole, and died a Jew. First a citizen of the Habsburg monarchy, he would, without moving, become the subject of the West Ukrainian People's Republic, the Second Polish Republic, the USSR, and, finally, the Third Reich. Yet to use his own metaphor, Schulz remained throughout a citizen of the Republic of Dreams. He was a master of twentieth-century imaginative fiction who mapped the anxious perplexities of his time; Isaac Bashevis Singer called him “one of the most remarkable writers who ever lived.” Schulz was also a talented illustrator and graphic artist whose masochistic drawings would catch the eye of a sadistic Nazi officer. Schulz's art became the currency in which he bought life. In Bruno Schulz: An Artist, a Murder, and the Hijacking of History (Norton, 2023), Benjamin Balint chases the inventive murals Schulz painted on the walls of an SS villa―the last traces of his vanished world―into multiple dimensions of the artist's life and afterlife. Sixty years after Schulz was murdered, those murals were miraculously rediscovered, only to be secretly smuggled by Israeli agents to Jerusalem. The ensuing international furor summoned broader perplexities, not just about who has the right to curate orphaned artworks and to construe their meanings, but about who can claim to stand guard over the legacy of Jews killed in the Nazi slaughter. By re-creating the artist's milieu at a crossroads not just of Jewish and Polish culture but of art, sex, and violence, Bruno Schulz itself stands as an act of belated restitution, offering a kaleidoscopic portrait of a life with all its paradoxes and curtailed possibilities.

The ensuing international furor summoned broader perplexities, not just about who has the right to curate orphaned artworks and to construe their meanings, but about who can claim to stand guard over the legacy of Jews killed in the Nazi slaughter. By re-creating the artist's milieu at a crossroads not just of Jewish and Polish culture but of art, sex, and violence, Bruno Schulz itself stands as an act of belated restitution, offering a kaleidoscopic portrait of a life with all its paradoxes and curtailed possibilities.

The twentieth-century artist Bruno Schulz was born an Austrian, lived as a Pole, and died a Jew. First a citizen of the Habsburg monarchy, he would, without moving, become the subject of the West Ukrainian People's Republic, the Second Polish Republic, the USSR, and, finally, the Third Reich. Yet to use his own metaphor, Schulz remained throughout a citizen of the Republic of Dreams. He was a master of twentieth-century imaginative fiction who mapped the anxious perplexities of his time; Isaac Bashevis Singer called him “one of the most remarkable writers who ever lived.” Schulz was also a talented illustrator and graphic artist whose masochistic drawings would catch the eye of a sadistic Nazi officer. Schulz's art became the currency in which he bought life.

Si les femmes se plaignent de gagner moins que les hommes, cette inégalité de traitement se retrouve aussi dans le domaine de la santé. Les femmes y seraient en effet victimes du syndrome de Yentl. Le nom vient de cette héroïne du roman de l'écrivain Isaac Bashevis Singer, qui, pour faire les études qu'elle ambitionne, ne voit qu'un moyen : se déguiser en homme. Pour les auteurs de ce concept, le syndrome de Yentl désigne une inégale prise en charge médicale pour les hommes et les femmes. En bref, les hommes seraient mieux soignés que les femmes. L'expression a d'abord été utilisée par certains cardiologues, puis s'est étendue, avant de se généraliser, à des domaines comme la prise en charge des AVC ou des pneumonies. Cette prise en charge moins satisfaisante des femmes viendrait notamment de la manière dont sont réalisés les essais cliniques qui permettent de mieux connaître certaines maladies ou de mettre au point des médicaments. En effet, les tests seraient effectués en priorité sur des animaux de laboratoire mâles. Ce serait le cas de 80 % des rats et souris utilisés pour ces essais. Par ailleurs, les personnes retenues, avec leur accord, pour les essais cliniques concernant les médicaments seraient, pour les trois quarts d'entre eux, des hommes. Les laboratoires se justifient en invoquant le fonctionnement hormonal spécifique de l'organisme féminin, qui pourrait modifier l'interprétation des tests. La recherche médicale s'intéressant moins aux hommes, la manière dont les femmes réagissent à certaines maladies est donc moins bien connue. En effet, les symptômes diffèrent parfois selon le sexe. C'est ainsi que, si les signes avant-coureurs d'une crise cardiaque chez l'homme sont bien identifiés, il n'en va pas toujours de même chez la femme. Certaines femmes, en effet, ne ressentent pas de douleurs vives ou manifestent des symptômes moins caractéristiques que ceux qui précèdent la crise cardiaque chez l'homme. Aussi, faute de bien connaître ces symptômes différents, certains médecins ne reconnaissent pas assez tôt les signes qui, pourtant, annoncent de graves troubles cardiaques.

Life is God's novel. Let him write it.—Isaac Bashevis Singer

Mina Anwar and Les Dennis discuss their new production of Spring and Port Wine at the Bolton Octagon. They explain why the 1960s classic play about a family in Bolton, and tensions between the generations, still has resonance today. Writer Tania Branigan talks about her new book Red Memory. Based on her research as a journalist in China, it tells the story of the Cultural Revolution through the memories of individuals including a composer, an artist and a man who denounced his own mother. It's nearly 40 years since Barbra Streisand's film Yentl was released. Based on a short story by Isaac Bashevis Singer, it follows a young woman who lives as a man so that she can study the bible. Kerry Shale, who had a part in Streisand's film, discusses returning to Singer's story to adapt it for a new Radio 4 drama, Yentl the Yeshiva Boy.

Yentl is a 1983 American romantic musical drama film directed, co-written, co-produced by, and starring American entertainer Barbra Streisand. It is based on Isaac Bashevis Singer's short story "Yentl the Yeshiva Boy". We Watched A Thing is supported by Dendy Cinemas Canberra.

The Village Idiot by Steve Stern (Melville House, 2022) opens with a marvelous boat race on the River Seine in 1917. The already well-known artist Amedeo Modigliani is in a bathtub ostensibly being pulled by a flock of ducks, but actually being hauled by immigrant painter Chaim Soutine. Soutine, a poorly educated, rough, and unmannered immigrant from a shtetl in the Pale of Settlement, is disoriented by the recycled air he breathes into his helmet. As he trudges along the river bottom pulling the bathtub along, he considers his past and future life. Soutine painted as a child even when it led to humiliation and beatings by his father and brothers. Neither the collectors who supported him, the friends (like Modigliani) who stood up for him, or the women who fought over him could get in the way of his painting. But then the Nazis swept across Europe, destroying everything Jewish in their path, including a generation of talented Jewish artists. Some, like Soutine, managed to evade capture. Stern's gorgeous novel is a sweeping, imaginative story of a great artist who was uniquely brilliant but simultaneously unpleasant and unwashed. Steve Stern was born in Memphis, Tennessee in 1947, and left to attend college, then to travel before ending up on a hippie commune in the Ozarks. He studied writing in the graduate program at the University of Arkansas, at a time when it included several notable writers who've since become prominent, including poet C.D. Wright and fiction writers Ellen Gilchrist, Lewis Nordan, Lee K. Abbott and Jack Butler. In his thirties, Stern accepted a job at a local folklore center where he learned about the city's old Jewish ghetto, The Pinch, and began to steep himself in Yiddish folklore. His first book, Isaac and the Undertaker's Daughter, 1983 won the Pushcart Writers' Choice Award. By decade's end Stern had won the O. Henry Award, two Pushcart Prize awards, published more collections, including Lazar Malkin Enters Heaven (which won the Edward Lewis Wallant Award for Jewish American Fiction) and the novel Harry Kaplan's Adventures Underground, and was being hailed by critics, such as Cynthia Ozick, as the successor to Isaac Bashevis Singer. Stern's 2000 collection The Wedding Jester won the National Jewish Book Award and his novel The Angel of Forgetfulness was named one of the best books of 2005 by The Washington Post. Stern, who teaches at Skidmore College, has also won some notable scholarly awards, including a Fulbright fellowship and the Guggenheim foundations Fellowship. He splits his time between Brooklyn and Balston Spa, New York and enjoys hiking, climbing, biking, and kayaking. G.P. Gottlieb is the author of the Whipped and Sipped Mystery Series and a prolific baker of healthful breads and pastries. Please contact her through her website (GPGottlieb.com).

This week on The Shmooze, we talk to Asaf Galay, award-winning director of films that examine modern Jewish culture and creativity. He has explored the magical literature and complex life of Isaac Bashevis Singer, celebrated ultra-Orthodox and queer Swedish pop music, and traced the development of comics and cartoons in the United States and Israel. His documentary "The Adventures of Saul Bellow" will be screened at the Yiddish Book Center and as part of the PBS American Masters series in December 2022. In conversation we talk about how Asaf's documentary brings the viewer into the world that informed Bellow, the writer and the person. Episode 332 August 8, 2022 Amherst, MA

Mercedes Monmany, escritora, crítica literaria, traductora y editora española conversará en Centro Sefarad-Israel con la periodista Karina Sainz Borgo sobre su obra Sin tiempo para el adiós editado por Galaxia Gutemberg (2021). El siglo XX está atravesado por éxodos continuos y dramáticos que se dan la mano, sin cesar. Escritores, artistas e intelectuales, de las más diversas nacionalidades y procedencias, escapan de los totalitarismos, de las persecuciones raciales y políticas, de las guerras, de las deportaciones e internamientos en campos de concentración y, en general, de la barbarie y de gigantescos «océanos de odio», como los llamaría Robert Musil. «Decir adiós es un arte difícil y amargo» dirá por su parte Stefan Zweig en el funeral de su amigo igualmente exiliado Joseph Roth. «El exiliado es el devorado por la Historia», añadirá la filósofa española María Zambrano. En “Sin tiempo para el adiós” Mercedes Monmany dirige su vista a algunos de los más grandes creadores europeos del pasado siglo que se vieron obligados a emprender el doloroso camino del exilio. Ahí estarían antinazis alemanes como Thomas y Klaus Mann, Alfred Döblin y Hannah Arendt, austriacos como Robert Musil, Joseph Roth y Franz Werfel, rusos que huían de la tiranía soviética como Nabokov y Joseph Brodsky, confinados de la época musoliniana como Pavese y Natalia Ginzburg, españoles exiliados tras la Guerra Civil como María Zambrano, Luis Cernuda o Chaves Nogales, polacos como Witold Gombrowicz y el Premio Nobel de Literatura Czesław Miłosz o escapados hacia Estados Unidos a causa de las incesantes olas de antisemitismo y la catástrofe del Holocausto como Isaac Bashevis Singer y Henry Roth. Sus historias serán las protagonistas de esta conversación.

El gran Isaac Bashevis Singer hace decir a un personaje demonio, nueve metros tierra adentro, que el hombre es el desecho de la creación, despojo, donde se cuece el pecado, error de Dios.

In our fifth episode of the season, presented in collaboration with Lilith magazine, we explore the Yiddish short story “The New World,” written by Esther Singer Kreitman in the first half of the twentieth century. The English translation by Barbara Harshav, which you can hear excerpts from in the episode, was published in Lilith in 1991.Dr. Anita Norich, Professor Emerita of English and Judaic Studies at the University of Michigan, takes us through the story, while also discussing the author's life and the ways in which her work speaks to the themes and complexities in Yiddish literature. She also touches on the role that societal assumptions about gender have played in the lack of awareness around Yiddish fiction written by women.

Singer's father, a rabbi, worked in a yeshiva, an Orthodox Jewish school for the study of sacred texts. Singer began studies to become a rabbi himself but decided to devote his life to writing. He emigrated to the United States in 1935 and settled in New York, where he found work as a writer, journalist and translator. Singer left behind a rich body of work, including about 20 novels and several books for children.Isaac Bashevis Singer wrote his works in Yiddish. His debut came in 1925 with publication of Af der elter (In Old Age). In several of his works, Singer writes about Polish Jews before the Holocaust. The stories often cover several generations, and many of them describe how modernity, secularism and assimilation affect the families. The stories often feature Jewish folklore and legends. Singer also wrote books for children and his autobiography, In My Father's Court (1967). Several of the Singers' works have been adapted for film.From https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/1978/singer/facts/. For more information about Isaac Bashevis Singer:“A Guide to Isaac Bashevis Singer”: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/a-guide-to-isaac-bashevis-singer/“Isaac Bashevis Singer, The Art of Fiction No. 42”: https://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/4242/the-art-of-fiction-no-42-isaac-bashevis-singer
