Show notes

This week we sat down with the Yiddish Book Center's own Eitan Kensky to talk about our newest publication, The Abandoned Book and Other Yiddish Stories. The book features thirty original translations of Yiddish works by both famous and lesser-known authors, culled from the many translations that have appeared in our magazine, Pakn Treger, since its second issue. Eitan talks about the fun and challenge of poring over back issues of the magazine to pull together a cohesive collection, and about the complex and often surprising process of finding new Yiddish translators and of Yiddish translation itself.
