Fiction Reading by Steve Stern

A Skidmore faculty member since 1988, Stern is known for creating colorful characters that mine "the rich terrain of Eastern European Jewry," according to Fernanda Eberstadt of The New York Times (March 20, 2005).
His most recent book, The Frozen Rabbi (2010, Algonquin Books), is an "epic novel" that provides "a wildly entertaining yet deeply thoughtful look at the burdens inherent in handing down traditions from one generation to the next," according to the publisher’s web site.
