Description
Afterword by Justin Cammy
Bilingual Yiddish/English text, translated by Mel Konner
How was Abraham Sutzkever, the most famous Yiddish poet to survive the ghettos of Europe, inspired by an invitation to speak in South Africa? How did he transform his travels into a celebration of the creative impulse at a moment when Yiddish literature was saturated with memory and mourning? Elephants by Night offers a timeless meditation on the intersection of place, memory, and renewal.
