Subject: You are invited
The Shaindy Rudoff Graduate Program in Creative Writing at Bar-Ilan
University invites you to a presentation by authors Peter Cole and
Adina Hoffman of their book
SACRED TRASH:
The Lost and Found World of the Cairo Geniza,
Shocken/ Nextbook, 2011
Tuesday, November 29, 2011 at 6 PM
Beck Auditorium, Bar-Ilan University
In Sacred Trash, MacArthur-winning poet and translator Peter Cole and
acclaimed writer Adina Hoffman tell the story of the retrieval from an
Egyptian geniza, repository for worn-out texts, of the most vital
cache of Jewish manuscripts ever discovered.
Hoffman and Cole bring modern readers into the heart of this
little-known trove, whose contents have been dubbed “the Living Sea
Scrolls.”
No longer can we speak of the seven wonders of the world. In this
astounding and acutely relevant tale, Adina Hoffman and Peter Cole
have uncovered a remarkable eighth; and in its connection to our own
humanity, it surpasses all the rest.
–Cynthia Ozick
The event is free and open to the public.
