Mid-Week Notes

Three quick things this week:

1. Tikvah Fund has produced a podcast featuring literature scholar Ruth Wisse and her list of five books to read during the pandemic:
   • Daniel Deronda by George Eliot
   • Tevye the Dairyman by Sholem Aleichem
   • In the Heart of the Seas by S.Y. Agnon
   • The Wall by John Hersey
   • My Quarrel with Hersh Rasseyner by Chaim Grade
2. Now that we’re in the final quarter of the calendar year, I’m beginning to think of my year-end writing assessment process: what’s worked, what hasn’t worked, what will my writing goals for 2021 be? Does anyone else go through this process?
3. Thanks to those of you who attended my interview last Thursday with children’s author Deanie Yasner about her middle-grade novel, Essie Rose’s Revelation Summer for the Mercer County (NJ) Holocaust, Genocide & Human Rights Center.

Stay safe!
