Boris documented it all in real time in the haunting documentary Vu iz mayn heym? (Where Is My Home?), which is dedicated “in Memory of Bessarabian Jewry” and opens with a valedictory flip through the uniquely Bessarabian Jewish names in Kishinev phone book.

I‘ve been reading this for a month & It will take me another month to finish because it‘s dense with information. However, as a teacher of students learning English I find it so interesting. This is about an organization in New York City documenting the 700+ languages spoken there, and also their attempt to save some languages that are going extinct by recording people and cataloging words and grammar.
👯♀️ I‘m reading this with my book club.
panIt was way too cringey and clichey. Nothing original, very predictable and even childish. Annoying characters and terrible writing. Should have DNF'ed it...
pickSince the German publisher doesn't seem to continue the series in German (what a shame - love their covers!), I'm just going to continue reading the books in English. Problem solved. I love Pentecost and Parker, I loved the plot and I loved that my guess was right. So yeah, I definitely will continue reading this series.
Life is a comedy of disorientation about people who believe in, commit to, and act on the erroneous.
A mondegreen is a misinterpretation the ear makes of a spoken (or sung) line. The term is derived from part of a folk ballad-- “They have slain the Earl of Moray/ And laid him on the green“-- which was misheard by Sylvia Wright (who coined the term) as “They have slain the Earl of Moray and Lady Mondegreen.“

I'd learned that the best response to a world conspiring against you is not to isolate yourself but to throw yourself more wholeheartedly into it.
