Mendele: Yiddish literature and language ________________________________________________________________________________ Contents of Vol. 1 no. 3 May 24, 1991 1) Archives ______________________________________________________________________________ Date: Fri, May 24,1991 From: Noyekh Miller (nmiller@trincc.bitnet) Subject: Archives Since Mendele is as much interested in literary as linguistic aspects of Yiddish I thought it would be useful to open that door as soon as possible. I happen to have translated a chapter from Jacob Pat's colorful 'Shmuessen mit Yiddishe Shrayber' (1954) which tells of a meeting with J.I.Trunk, the celebrated author of 'Poyln'. The volume was printed privately and is not to my knowledge copyrighted. I'm no translator and don't pretend to be. But this piece touches on so many central concerns that I thought you would overlook the clumsy job. More important, I hope it will encourage others who are more quali- fied to do likewise. I've put TRUNK.TXT in the archives. A simple note to MENDELE@TRINCC.BITNET will get you a copy. Noyekh
