Woman of Letters and Other Goings-on at the Museum of Jewish Heritage

In the current (November) issue of The Writer magazine, I've contributed a short news item on Woman of Letters: Irène Némirovsky and Suite Française, an exhibition at New York's Museum of Jewish Heritage-A Living Memorial to the Holocaust. Woman of Letters runs into March 2009, but if you can't get to the Museum to see it, you can still check it out online.

Plenty of events are being planned in conjunction with this exhibition, among them a discussion of "Jews in Vichy France" (featuring scholars Robert Paxton and Michael Marrus) and another session on "Irène Némirovsky and the Jewish Question," with my own former professor, Susan Suleiman, and The New Republic's Ruth Franklin. Check out these sessions, and other events planned for this fall at the Museum, right here.

(I won't be blogging on Yom Kippur. See you back here in a few days.)
