A Bridge of Longing: The Lost Art of Yiddish Storytelling Hardcover - 1998

by David G. Roskies


From the publisher

This text provides a history of how Yiddish storytelling became the politics of rescue for successive generations of displaced Jewish artists, embodying their fervent hopes and greatest fears in the languages of tradition. Its protagonists are modern writers who returned to storytelling in the hope of harnessing the folk tradition and who created copies that are better than the original.
