BJE Speaker Series: Nora Gold – 18: Jewish Stories Translated from 18 Languages

Read­ers who are tempt­ed by slim vol­umes of short sto­ries will take great plea­sure in 18: Jew­ish Sto­ries Trans­lat­ed from 18 Lan­guages by Nora Gold. The book deliv­ers on its promise to share beau­ti­ful­ly craft­ed fic­tion that trans­ports read­ers across the globe in fif­teen min­utes or few­er. Instead of try­ing to answer the age-old ques­tion, ​“What makes a Jew­ish sto­ry a Jew­ish sto­ry?,”   the col­lec­tion allows the diverse sto­ries and voic­es of the authors to take cen­ter stage.
