On Her Own

On Her Own

Lihi Lapid

$30.00 $27.90

I was particularly motivated to read this book after discovering how much difficulty the author was having in trying to promote it: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-06-11/ty-article-magazine/.premium/lihi-lapid-wife-of-ex-pm-discovers-grim-new-reality-for-israeli-authors-in-america/0000018f-fea3-d5ad-ad8f-feeb80280000?gift=e7e34b69065548aea2bcb0dd4d91f1d9.

The Hebrew Teacher

The Hebrew Teacher

Maya Arad

$17.95 $16.69

The title novella is my favorite!

On the Landing: Stories by Yenta MASH

On the Landing: Stories by Yenta MASH

Yenta Mash

$16.95 $15.76

Such an important addition to Jewish literature now available in English. I teach from the book in my "Contemporary Jewish Short Stories," class, to help illustrate current/recent attention to work, by women writers, that was originally published in Yiddish.

The Property

The Property

Rutu Modan

Glikl: Memoirs 1691-1719

Glikl: Memoirs 1691-1719

Glikl

$22.94

It took me a long time to get around to reading this--but Glikl is a Jewish literary foremother!

Hannah Senesh: Her Life and Diary, the First Complete Edition

Hannah Senesh: Her Life and Diary, the First Complete Edition

Hannah Senesh

$19.99 $18.59

Hannah Senesh. Heroine.

A Scrap of Time and Other Stories

A Scrap of Time and Other Stories

Ida Fink

$21.60

Another title that I teach from, particularly when teaching "Holocaust Literature."

Rue Ordener, Rue Labat

Rue Ordener, Rue Labat

Sarah Kofman

$23.00

This one came to my attention early in my teaching career--when one of my students asked if we could read it together.

Exit Wounds

Exit Wounds

Rutu Modan

$19.95 $18.55

More from Rutu Modan.

Twenty Girls to Envy Me: Selected Poems of Orit Gidali

Orit Gidali

NB: Note that translator Marcela Sulak is a writer in her own right.

Secret Book of Kings

Secret Book of Kings

Yochi Brandes

Like Bible-based fiction? This one may be for you.

Diary of a Lonely Girl, or the Battle Against Free Love

Diary of a Lonely Girl, or the Battle Against Free Love

Miriam Karpilove

$19.95 $18.55

Another example of a translation that illustrates current/recent attention to work originally published in Yiddish.

A Bride for One Night: Talmud Tales

A Bride for One Night: Talmud Tales

Ruth Calderon

$21.95 $20.41

Not inspired by the Bible--but close!

The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition

The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition

Anne Frank

$8.99 $8.36

The first book in translation that I read that was written by a Jewish woman (or, in this case, a girl). And probably many of you can say the same.

And the Bride Closed the Door

And the Bride Closed the Door

Ronit Matalon

$15.95 $14.83

One of my more recent reads.

Seven Good Years: A Yiddish Folktale

Another of my more recent reads.

For the Love of the Father

For the Love of the Father

Chochana Boukhobza

$19.95 $18.55

And another recent read. Still puzzling over the ending (have written to the translator, whom I know, to inquire).

All the Rivers

All the Rivers

Dorit Rabinyan

$27.00 $25.11

Where is the cover image here? In any case, this one you *may* have heard of. It got quite a lot of press. https://www.jta.org/2017/06/21/ny/a-forbidden-love-storys-multiple-plots
