Stories in Exile Reading Group from The Yiddish Book Club--Discussion-- "The Glatstein Chronicles" -
Seymour Public Library is excited to participate in The Yiddish Book Center's "Stories of Exile" Reading Groups for Public Libraries, a reading and discussion program to engage teens and adults in thinking about experiences of displacement, migration and diaspora, In this program librarians organize reading groups to discuss three books of Yiddish literature in translation, and one book related to the experience of a community served by their library.
The book discussed on March 5th will be "The Glatstein Chronicles" by Jacob Glatstein. In 1934 prior to World War II Jacob Glatstein, who had been born in Lublin Poland, travel from his current home in New York City back to Poland to visit his dying mother. He used this experience as the basis for two semi-autographical novellas known as "The Glatstein Chronicles". Selections from the work will be discussed.
This series is made possible due to support from The Yiddish Book Center. The Yiddish Book Center's "Stories of Exile" Reading Groups for Public Libraries is made possible by a gift from Sharon Karmazin.
