She's an iconic Jewish storyteller. She's a widely acclaimed
professor and folklorist. She's the one and only Peninnah Schram,
and Peninnah's World: A Jewish Life in Stories is her authorized
biography, told through individual stories. What is a biography
told through stories? Because Schram's art form is storytelling,
Peninnah's World dramatizes in vivid scenes her extraordinary
trajectory from the New London, Connecticut-born child of immigrant
parents steeped in Jewish tradition in the 1930s and '40s to
award-winning, New York-based performer, writer and scholar. The
book features landmarks such as the old Mohican Hotel in New London
and Stern College for Women in Manhattan. Along the way, Schram
enjoys close encounters with such luminaries as Noble Laureates
Elie Wiesel and Isaac Bashevis Singer, as well as famed
Yiddish-theater actress Molly Picon, actor Jeff Goldblum,
singer/ethnomusicologist Ruth Rubin and others. Written by
storytelling studies professor and performer Caren Schnur Neile,
the stories are in a form tailor-made to enjoy and share aloud. At
the same time, they serve as models for all those interested in
creating their own life and family stories, whatever their
background, whether on the page, on the stage, or among neighbors
and loved ones. Welcome to Peninnah's World. Prepare to explore
your own.
