Gail Hareven’s New Yorker Debut

By Gabrielle Birkner April 29, 2009

Where the Forward goes, The New Yorker follows — in this instance, at least.

In February, the Forward brought you an excerpt from Gail Hareven’s recently released novel “The Confessions of Noa Weber” (Melville House) — the author’s 11th book, but her first to be translated into English — and this candid Q&A.

This week, the New Yorker has a short story by Hareven. Read it here.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
