Bridge of Desire

The book "Bridge of Desire" is devoted to the formation and development of the narrative genre in Jewish literature in the Yiddish language from the 18th to the 20th century, as well as the state of Yiddish culture in our time. The mystical revelations of Nachman of Bratslav, the bitter humor of Sholem Aleichem and Itzhak Leybush Peretz, the poetry of Itzik Manger and the virtuoso prose of B. Z. (Bashevis) Singer find in Roskiss not only a conscientious interpreter but also an inspired historian of an entire layer of Jewish culture.
