About the Talk
DIASPORA tells the epic tale of the Vostęvskie family through eight generations, forced migration, violent uprisings, and the ravages of world war. Interwoven through the family's expansive story are the extraordinary lives of peasant farmers, seamen, soldiers, and the laborers of port cities along the way. Following the destructiveness of the twentieth century, one surviving descendant of the family is forced to distill from myth and reality the deeper truths of their ancestry. The remaining Vostęvskies, and the reader, must confront whether the stories we tell ourselves are only as firm - or as illusory - as we wish them to be.You can order the book here.
About the Author
Isaiah Margulies is a merchant seaman by day and writer by night. Much of his writing is technically and spiritually influenced by his time working at sea. The broader Jewish diaspora, and his own small part of it, guided the overarching narrative that became his debut novel, Diaspora.RECORDING INFORMATION
