Uncovering the Hidden<br />
The Works and Life of Der Nister<br />
Gennady Estraikh (Editor); Mikhail Krutikov (Editor); Kerstin Hoge (Editor)<br />
Der Nister (Pinkhes Kahanovitsh, 1884–1950) is widely regarded as the most enigmatic<br />
author in modern Yiddish literature. His pseudonym, which translates as ‘The Hidden<br />
One’, is as puzzling as his diverse body of works, which range from mystical symbolist<br />
poetry and dark expressionist tales to realist historical epic. Although part of the Kiev<br />
Group of Yiddish writers, which also included David Bergelson and Peretz Markish,<br />
Der Nister remained at the margins of the Yiddish literary world throughout his life,<br />
mainstream success eluding him both in- and outside the Soviet Union. Yet, to judge<br />
from the quantity of recent research and translation work, der Nister is today one of<br />
the best remembered Yiddish modernists. The present collection of twelve original<br />
articles by international scholars re-examines Der Nister’s cultural and literary legacy,<br />
bringing to light new aspects of his life and creative output.<br />
