Sholem Aleichem’s Rediscovered Novel

Translator and author Curt Leviant visits with The Shmooze to talk about this first English translation of Sholem Aleichem’s rediscovered novel Moshkeleh the Thief. The novel has a riveting plot, an unusual love story, and a keenly observed portrayal of an underclass Jew, replete with characters never before seen in Yiddish literature.
