Translator and scholar Anita Norich will stop by the Yiddish Book Center for a conversation about her recently released translation of Yiddish writer Celia Dropkin’s Desires (White Goat Press). In Desires, as in much of her work, Dropkin reflects on the complexities of love, eroticism, and domesticity. Through characters carefully drawn from her own immigrant experience, Dropkin addresses the yearnings of both the body and mind, the tension between excitement and security, and the conflicting impulses that are part of the human condition. Anita will be in conversation with Lisa Newman, the Yiddish Book Center’s director of publishing and public programs. Following their conversation there will be a Q&A and a book signing. This event is free to attend and will be presented at the Yiddish Book Center and streamed live via Zoom. Registration for the Zoom livestream is required – see the Event Website. No registration is needed to attend this event in person at the Center.
