| Historian Dr. Caroline Luce, Ph.D., illuminates the unlikely connections between Jewish literature and the social history of L.A. in a talk on one of the often-overlooked centers of Yiddish literary production in America: Los Angeles sanatoriums for victims of tuberculosis. The lives of these tubercular writers raise provocative questions about how Yiddish writers engaged with American literary traditions. Tuesday, April 4 at 6:30 p.m. at the Studio City Branch Library. |
