[ha-Safran] Swindles and Seductions: The Curious Affinity of Sholem Aleichem and Isaac Bashevis Singer (free lecture at NYPL, July 5, 2017)

2017-06-07 Thread Amanda Seigel 
Dear Safranim,

You are cordially invited to a free public program featuring speaker Dr.
Miriam Udel.

Swindles and Seductions: The Curious Affinity of Sholem Aleichem and Isaac
Bashevis Singer

A lecture by Dr. Miriam Udel, sponsored by the Dorot Jewish Division, New
York Public Library

Wednesday, July 5, 2017
6:30 PM
Mid-Manhattan Library
455 Fifth Avenue (at 40th St.)
New York, NY, 10016
Wheelchair accessible

Sholem Aleichem and Isaac Bashevis Singer are each household names, and
together, their writing careers spanned virtually the entire twentieth
century. Their deep affinity transcends their shared celebrity, though.
They defined the Yiddish response to modernity by taking a stance against
progress and the other developmental ideals that had powered the Haskalah
(Jewish Enlightenment). Drawing on the speaker’s award-winning book Never
Better!: The Modern Jewish Picaresque, this talk will explain the central
role of various deceptions—the swindle in the case of Sholem Aleichem and
the seduction in that of Bashevis Singer—in illustrating a rapidly changing
world newly devoid of even secular pieties.

Miriam Udel is associate professor of German Studies and Jewish Studies at
Emory University, where her teaching focuses on Yiddish language,
literature, and culture. She holds an AB in Near Eastern Languages and
Civilizations from Harvard University, as well as a PhD in Comparative
Literature from the same institution. Her research interests include
Yiddish modernism, genre studies, Jewish children’s literature, and
American-Jewish literature. She is the author of Never Better!: The Modern
Jewish Picaresque (University of Michigan Press, 2016), winner of a
National Jewish Book Award in Modern Jewish Thought and Experience. She is
preparing an annotated, translated anthology of Yiddish children’s
literature called Honey on the Page, slated to appear with New York
University Press.

The lecture is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served
basis. For more information, visit:
