In his short life (1865-1921), Micha Josef Berdichevsky was a
versatile and influential man of letters: an innovative Hebrew
prose stylist; a collector of Jewish folklore; a scholar of ancient
Jewish and Christian history. He was at once a peer of the Brothers
Grimm, Sholem Aleichem, Friedrich Nietzsche, and a diverse circle
of Jewish writers in the Russian Empire and German-speaking
countries. As a Yiddish writer, however, he remains largely unknown
to gen eral readers. Originally published in the 1920s, his stories
were dismissed by prominent critics and viewed as out of step with
the literary taste of his own time. Yet these vivid portraits of a
small Jewish town (shtetl) in the southern Russian Empire can speak
powerfully to audiences today. With enchanting humor, social
satire, and verbal dexterity, From a Distant Relation captures the
world of the shtetl in a sharp realist prose style. Themes of
repressed desire, poverty, relations with non-Jews, and historic
upheavals echo in a cast of memorable characters. Many of the
stories and monologues feature strong female protagonists, while
others shed light on the misogynistic culture of the shtetl. At the
border between fiction and reportage, with a gritty underbelly and
a deceptive naivete, Berdichevsky's stories explore dynamics of
wealth, power, and gender in an intimate setting that resonates
profoundly with contemporary Jewish life.
