Literature & Memory

On March 5, there will be an evening Literature & Memory. This still-young century has seen a blossoming of literature by Jewish writers across the world. How have they grappled with the enormous changes in politics and culture over recent decades? Poet and essayist Maria Stepanova was shortlisted for the 2021 International Booker for In Memory of Memory, the story of how her seemingly ordinary Russian Jewish family somehow managed to survive the myriad persecutions and repressions of the last century. For his poetry, translations and children’s books George Szirtes has won the Faber Prize, The European Poetry Translation Prize, the CLPE Prize and the Booker International Translation Prize. They will be in conversation with Jewish Renaissance editor Rebecca Taylor.
