Peter Manseau won the National Jewish Book Award for "Songs for the Butcher’s Daughter," a semi-autobiographical and semi-historical novel about Yiddish literature and preservation. In this conversation with Josh Lambert, Manseau reflects on his time as an intern at the Yiddish Book Center and the obsession with Yiddish he can't seem to shake.
