mentalblog bookclub: Di Mishpokhe Mashber

Marc Chagall (front) with teachers and children at the children's colony in Malakhovka near Moscow - 1923. 2nd row, 2nd from right - writer Der Nister (Pinchus Kahanovich, HYD). Literary critic Yekhezkel Dobrushin is 3rd from right. YIVO Coll. (See Der Nister - Wikipedia.)

So I hear about this book from Hirshel Tzig today and then Chabakuk Elisha told me that he read the book and it shaken him to the core, he couldn't sleep last night. I just ordered this book from a library (1987 edition). A new edition of the book is coming out on May 20th: The Family Mashber by Der Nister.Perhaps we can read it together and talk about it in two weeks or so (there are many 87 used books available on Amazon). This makes more sense than for me to write about books that nobody read. Although I don't really care, I write to sort out my thoughts, if people read it or not, I don't care.
