finally made it to the section about “tevye the dairyman”!!!! this is exciting even if the author says “fiddler on the roof” does sholem aleichem a disservice :(((

so excited to continue this bc i’ve (for now) moved past depressing fictional stories about pogroms and am now reading a /fascinating/ essay about yiddish and sholem aleichem’s role in legitimizing it as a language <3 shoutout to tevye the dairyman and fiddler on the roof <3 also it mentioned ladino on the first page of the essay!!

the danger of this book is that they don’t really give you any context (or warnings) for any of the selections… so i just read a poem about the holocaust without expecting to. happy hanukkah?

enjoying!! i really like how it’s broken up into sections. i think this could be a good book club book— i’ve been sharing my thoughts on random passages w friends, but i wish i could talk through some of the sections w someone else. maybe it’s just bc i’m still accustomed to reading for class, but something feels unfinished about reading all of this by myself and then just moving on!!
