Welcome to Litsy!

Chaim Grade was a big deal in the Yiddish literature world of the early 20th century but not known today as Singer or Aleichem are. His “mercurial” widow would not allow this book to be translated so it had to wait until after her death, and the result will be released March 25.

I‘m very much looking forward to reading this window into shtetl (Yiddish word for “village”)life. #yiddish #translatedliterature
