Yente Telebende with Henry Sapoznik (in English)

$25.00

Of all the words that have migrated from Yiddish to English, none have the colorful backstory of Yente, a fictional woman whose name has come to mean “gossip” but who first found fame in 1913 as a woman who stood up for herself and gave as good as she got. This whirlwind tour of the massively popular “Yente Telebende” will reveal her brilliant, prolific creator B. Kovner and his one thousand  Yente Telebende feuillitons in the pages of the Forward, the numerous stage shows that were among the biggest hits in the history of the Yiddish theater, and nearly 100 commercial 78 rpm records issued over nearly half a century, all of which bring the presence and power of Yente Telebende back to life. Result? Yente, was no yente.
