Vilna My Vilna

Yiddish writer Abraham Karpinowitz portrays the dreams and struggles of poor and disenfranchised Jews from his native city of Vilna (present-day Vilnius, Lithuania) during the period immediately before the Holocaust. His stories provide an affectionate portrait of fishwives and cobblers, thieves and prostitutes. This collection also includes two intimate memoirs of the author's childhood experiences in his father's Vilna Yiddish theatre. Mintz deftly preserves Karpinowitz's colorful, often idiomatic Yiddish, capturing his unique voice and bringing this destroyed world to English-language readers.
