Voices of Jewish Literary Giants: Hayim Nahman Bialik and Philip Roth
Hosted By: YIVO
The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research presents a conversation with Steven J. Zipperstein and Peter Cole on the legacies of Philip Roth and Hayim Nahman Bialik. Zipperstein’s new biography “Philip Roth: Stung by Life” examines the novelist’s complex life and exploration of identity and American Jewishness. Cole’s translation “On the Slaughter” reveals a more unsettling and politically charged side of Bialik, bridging traditional Jewish thought with modern humanism.
