Adam Langer’s novel, “The Thieves of Manhattan” uses an all-too-familiar climate of made-up memoirs as a place to set con games. In this Yid Lit Podcast, Langer talks about writing to Stephen Sondheim, world-class literary hoaxes and why he doesn’t think of himself as a Jewish writer.

We're building on 127 years of independent journalism to help you develop deeper connections to what it means to be Jewish today.
With so much at stake for the Jewish people right now — war, rising antisemitism, a high-stakes U.S. presidential election — American Jews depend on the Forward's perspective, integrity and courage.
