In today's @TheAtlantic, an essay I wrote about a new novel, #PhilipRoth and 'Philip Roth." theatlantic.com/books/archiv…
Oddsmakers are favoring Can Xue and Jon Fosse for the Nobel Prize for literature. But there's a strong argument that it should go to @iraglass at @ThisAmerLife. And @TalyaZax at @jdforward is pretty convincing in making that argument. forward.com/culture/562470/w…

So looking forward to @TheNYFF this weekend. @pjgrisar of @jdforward helped me get some of the anticipation out a few days ago. A real treat to get to talk about all this!

This tour-de-force of narrative nonfiction, archival research, and public-service journalism is the product of a year of work from @ASilversteinNY, @rudoren, Chana Pollack and countless others from the past and present of @jdforward.
My article on the Forward’s “Seeking Relatives” took a year and a village.
Thanks to archivist Chana Pollack for research and translation, editors @rudoren and @Adam_Langer, and Matthew Littman for graphics.
@yadvashem for materials. And Isaac Metzker:

A terrific story of two eras, two sets of hotels, two generations of refugees, and a common theme desperation, xenophobia, and hope. @jdforward
Migrants are staying within blocks of the hotels where Jewish refugees first rested their heads after years in ghettos, concentration camps, and DP camps.
I spoke with postwar Jewish refugees including @joeberg and recent refugees for @jdforward

This may be the best headline I've written all year. Also the article by @pjgrisar in @jdforward is pretty entertaining too. forward.com/culture/545794/w…

My latest with @jdforward
Working with Varian Fry, the Jewish Labor Committee rescued more than two thousand activists — why are they forgotten?
