A Simple Story | 
so-soI just finished A Simple Story & now I‘m just about to start a simple supper😉😋 So this was a pleasant story, but a bit silly at times. The author, a Polish immigrant to Israel, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1966. We toured his home last year with Hillel Halkin, who translated this story. I thought the translation was very authentic and true to both the culture and the language. Read for my IRL bookclub.
BarbaraBB Great pic! The sushi is looking good 😀 6y
Anna40 @Cinfhen can you recommend any of Agnon's other books? 5y
Cinfhen I wish I could @Anna40 !!! When we toured The Agnon House this was the book the guide suggested we read. It really captured life in a Polish “shtetl” (village) and my bookclub found the story charming. I was a little underwhelmed but it was still a mostly sweet story 5y
Anna40 @Cinfhen Ok. Thanks. I will give this one a try then. I read one of Hillel Harkin's books. It's amazing that you got to tour Agnon's house with him! Did you also visit the house where Amos Oz grew up? 5y
Cinfhen Hillel was so knowledgeable and such a great guide @Anna40 I‘m hoping to visit the home of Amos Oz although I‘m not sure if it‘s been turned into an actual museum like Agnon‘s. I went with my bookclub for an outing, it was really fun. 5y
