""Adventures in Yiddishland" presents a familiar phenomenon in American-Jewish culture that has rarely been seen before. Shandler has a thorough command not only of contemporary Yiddish, but indeed in all its historical stages."--Naomi Seidman, author of "A Marriage Made in Heaven: The Sexual Politics of Hebrew and Yiddish" "A brilliant and original take on Yiddish in the post-World War II period.
