Join Deep Vellum to get a peek into the life of Noemi Jaffe, author of What Are the Blind Men Dreaming?. In her remarkable multi-generic book, published by Deep Vellum in 2016, the individual voices of three generations of women—mother, in the diary she wrote after liberation from Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen; daughter, considering the power of memory and survival; and granddaughter, reflecting on what it means to be the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor—combine in an unparalleled use of literature as a means to bear witness. This title was translated from the Brazilian Portuguese by Julia Sanches and from the Serbian by Ellen Elias-Bursać.
Authors in Their Homes will take viewers on virtual tours of Deep Vellum authors’ workspaces, homes, and places of inspiration to share a window into their culture and writing practices. These brief, casual events will stream on Zoom and Facebook Live, and will be archived below once available.
