A "fascinating and enlightening" collection of comics and writings that explore the Yiddish language and the Jewish experience (
The Miami Herald).
We hear words like
nosh,
schlep, and
schmutz, but how did they come to pepper American English? In
Yiddishkeit, Harvey Pekar and Paul Buhle trace the far-reaching influences of Yiddish from medieval Europe to the tenements of New York's Lower East Side. This comics anthology contains original stories by such notable writers and artists as Barry Deutsch, Peter Kuper, Spain Rodriguez, and Sharon Rudahl. Through illustrations, comics art, and a full-length play, four major themes are explored: culture, performance, assimilation, and the revival of the language.
"The book is about what Neal Gabler in his introduction labels 'Jewish sensibility.'...he writes: 'You really can't define Yiddishkeit neatly in words or pictures. You sort of have to feel it by wading into it.' The book does this with gusto." -
The
New York Times
"As colorful, bawdy, and charming as the culture it seeks to represent." -
Printmagazine
"Brimming with the charm and flavor of its subject...a genuinely compelling, scholarly comics experience." -
Publishers Weekly
"A book that truly informs about Jewish culture and, in the process, challenges readers to pick apart their own vocabulary." -
Chicago Tribune
"A postvernacular tour de force." -
The Forward
"With a loving eye Pekar and Buhle extract moments and personalities from Yiddish history." -
Hadassah
"Gorgeous comix-style portraits of Yiddish writers."--
Tablet
"Yiddishkeit has managed to survive, if just barely...because [it] is an essential part of both the Jewish and the human experience." -Neal Gabler, author of
An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood, from his introduction
"A scrumptious smorgasbord of comics, essays, and illustrations...concentrated tastes, with historical context, of Yiddish theater, literature, characters and culture." -
