Blesed Hands: Stories by Frume Halpern; translated by Yermiyahu Ahron Taub These slice-of-life stories first appeared in the Yiddish radical press in mid-20th century New York. An over-looked master of the short story genre, Frume Halpern's fiction is now available for the first time, in its entirety, to English-language readers. These psychologically insightful stories present the lives of protagonists who are working-class poor, social outcasts, and those experiencing illness, disability, and racism. Halpern worked as a massage therapist in a hospital and many of these stories are about those who work with their hands. |
New Novel Addresses Family Issues and Dementia with Compassion and Humor
Loose in the Bright Fantastic by E.B. Moore Gray-haired Maggie flees the hospital wearing her late husband’s ill-fitting wingtips and an ancient mink over her hospital johnny. She escapes into the familiar comfort of the Boston Public Garden and, as dusk settles, her past and present meld together. She eludes the police and family for days, while revisiting old haunts, from tea at the Ritz to shopping at Goodwill. This is a story of family ties that get stretched under duress but never quite break. Told with compassion and humor, Loose in the Bright Fantastic is a heartfelt story of generational challenges will appeal to any reader who has ever been part of a family. |
