Yiddish for Pirates on a bunch of lists...

Recently, Gregory Betts and I had the rare pleasure of recording with legendary Canadian (& Lunarian) poet, bill bissett.

This has been an immensely surprising and gratifying year. My novel, Yiddish for Pirates, has, very happily, received some very nice attention and appeared on several lists. I am both blabberfasted as well as delighted.
