GREAT JEWISH BOOK LECTURE | Magical Thinking: Isaac Bashevis Singer’s novel The Magician of Lublin, with Anita Norich
Tuesday, April 13, 7pm (EDT)
The Magician of Lublin is the story of a performer who, like Houdini, is adept at getting himself out of seemingly impossible situations, including affairs with several women, poverty, criminality, and more. In this talk, Professor Anita Norich will explore the questions Bashevis Singer poses in the novel about sin, evil, faith, and the choices available to Jews living in the modern world.
