Bøker av Harriet Murav

David Bergelson's Strange New World explores the work of one of the most highly regarded Yiddish writers of the 20th and his untimely world of characters who live ahead and behind the times in the Eastern European shtetl.

This book offers the first full-length English-language biography of Avraam Uri Kovner, a fascinating and peculiar Russian-Jewish writer and criminal who lived at the end of the nineteenth century. It is also an examination of Russo-Jewish identity in the modern period and of larger questions of hybridity and performativity.
