Life as cvec

Book canadian scientist Michael vex devoted to Yiddish language in its American incarnation.
Since the Egyptian exile and forth, throughout world history, the Jews had many reasons for complaints, appeals to God and curses.
And for millennia they have developed to be the ideal language.
This language — Yiddish, some was declared dead, but alive and dead, it seems, feels good.
Witty and fun, the author tells us about the place of Yiddish in contemporary American culture.
Individual chapters are devoted to religion, superstitions, curses, food, different periods of life and, of course, sex and death.
Despite the serious subject, the author managed to create a really funny book.
