January Issue Launch: Isaac Bashevis Singer

We’re thrilled to announce a special evening to celebrate Trio, a newly discovered short story by Jewish Nobel Prize-winning writer Isaac Bashevis Singer. Extraordinarily, the story came to light alongside three dozen love letters written to four different women in multiple languages, found hidden between the leaves of books in a donation made to the Singer archive at Florida’s Atlantic University.

Trio is published for the first time in English in the new issue of JR, the launch of which we will also be celebrating on the night. We’ll be joined by renowned actor and audiobook narrator Juliet Stevenson, who’ll read extracts of the story live, Singer scholar David Stromberg and Eddy Portnoy, historian of Yiddish pop culture.

Please register below to receive the streaming link, which will be sent out one day before the event.
