Professor and award winning author Ilana Blumberg reads from her memoir in the Michigan Wrtiers Series

Description:

Professor and award winning author Ilana Blumberg reads from her memoir, "House of study : a Jewish woman among books". She describes the book as detailing two educations, one in the Jewish religious and cultural studies, and another in modern secular America. Her readings tell of her memories of libraries and her time studying in Israel, a new opportunity for women at the time. Blumberg also talks about studying ancient Jewish texts and compares that with her education at Columbia University and her specialty in 19th century Victorian literature. A question and answer end the session follows. Blumberg is introduced by MSU Librarian Peter Berg for the Michigan State University Libraries' Michigan Writers Series.
