wow. big ups to dc nahm, who just sent me this amazing link, which honestly i should have discovered before, since they're co-spearheading the ala's jewish literature program (which of course i think is supercool, and hey, why the heck are all of nextbook's library-located program fellows people without library degrees?! GIVE ME A JOB! I AM QUALIFIED!). dc nahm sent me this link b/c of this article on the michael chabon brouhaha (for those who missed it, some dude in the current issue of bookforum wrote an unfavorable article on a speech chabon gives periodically, which features a nazi-pretending-to-be-a-Holocaust-survivor character. the bookforum guy basically was calling chabon a liar, saying he made this guy up--but considering the speech also talks about chabon's interactions w/ golems, i sort of think that's the point. anyway, the article has a great take on it, and chabon's talk is also available at nextbook for the curious).
there's also an article on the vh1 passover special featuring dee snider and the dude from anthrax.
anyway, this link is hitting the sidebar right now. david, you rock.
and on a slightly related note: i jsut rediscovered this book, one of my childhood favorites. i can't believe how many books i've forgotten--books i really loved. it jsut furthers my resolve not to get rid of any of the books i have now!

Oh My GOD! All-of-a-Kind Family!!!! That was one of my favorite books as a child, also. I read it so many times. I had been wondering for years what that book was called, and I was even going to post something to the sils-students list asking about it. Thank you for digging this one up!
believe me, it was my pleasure! i had the whole series when i was a kid and read them over and over myself. :)
