Description: Sydney Picador / Pan Macmillan, 2011. 1st ed. Paperback trade, very good condition, edges lightly toned, minor edgewear. 255 pp. In the early 1990s, after writing for most of his life in Yiddish, his mother tongue, Jacob Rosenberg decided to change to English. He died in 2008, at the age of 86. During those 15 years, he wrote and published three collections of poetry, a book of short stories, a novel, and two prize-winning memoirs that chart his journey from youth in the city of Lodz, through the nightmare of the Holocaust and the loss of his entire family, to the rebuilding of a future in Australia. This book brings together 12 men and women from Australian literary and intellectual life who knew Jacob Rosenberg and offer their responses to his writing. ISBN: 9781742610436
