  6. "As a #Jewish #food #writer and #anthropologist of sorts, #JoanNathan had always been interested in her own family’s history. The “Julia Child of Jewish #cooking” has even #written about it in her recent #autobiography, “My Life in #Recipes.”

    But many details about her father’s family, some of whom had perished in the #Holocaust, were scant.

    On a recent Thursday morning, #Nathan spent two hours at the Ackman and Ziff Family #Genealogy Institute in #Manhattan, where those secrets would be uncovered as part of a new program called “Histories and Mysteries.” Nathan learned about the fate of a great-aunt, who was confined at #Theresienstadt, and her grandson, who by a circuitous, ultimately tragic path is remembered by #Catholics as a #martyr.

    She discovered not only what happened to those relatives, but saw photographs of them and their homes, and read newspaper articles and letters about them."

  12. Much as I completely understand all the criticism, there's something about her I like (and though I mostly enjoyed Girls, I don't really like her work)

    'If you have an addictive personality, which clearly I do, any hit of the dopamine of positivity [is welcome] and there’s also a hit of adrenaline that comes from the negative. And then, because you see something negative, you want to see something positive to erase it, and you end up in this cycle. It’s easy when you’re young to feel** **the internet’s a game you want to win'

  16. For Black Sabbath fans, Geezer Butler's autobiography, "Into the Void", on audiobook is very entertaining. He narrated it himself.

  17. FAB 5 FREDDY may not be the household name he once was, but this autobiography should change that. Come for the inside stories of graffiti, rap, hip-hop, and MTV, but you’ll stay for the reminiscences of late-20th century Black New York. A MINUS

  19. If you are a #Writer or #Author and have written a #Biography or an #Autobiography, please reach out to me. I seek to scribe my own autobiography as context for any future partners in life and community whom wish to "see" me more fully and understand why I seek to attain my visions.

  20. ¡Por fin salió mi libro! ¡Qué ilusión y qué nervios! Se llama "Erica a diario" y cuenta casi todo lo que hice en 2024; qué surrealista ver mi vida convertida en un libro.

    My book is finally out! I'm so happy! It's called "Erica Every Day" and it chronicles almost everything I did in 2024; it's surreal to see my life turned into a book. And before you ask: yes, it's bilingual too ✨

  22. "#JuliaIoffe never set out to #write a #book about herself, so it’s ironic that she won the #autobiography and #memoir category of the 2026 National #JewishBook Awards.

    The #Washington resident is the author of “Motherland: A #Feminist #History of Modern #Russia From Revolution to Autocracy,” published in October.

    Facing daily systemic #discrimination and treated as second-class citizens due to their #Judaism, 7-year-old #Ioffe and her family fled the #SovietUnion and settled in #Columbia, #Maryland.

    A chapter of “Motherland” details Ioffe’s teen years, when she was a student at #BethTfilohDahan Community #School in #Baltimore.

    “My mom initiated me into #Soviet history and what it means to come from that place and to be from a family that survived all that,” Ioffe recalled.

    Her family’s #Jewish identity is a major facet of “Motherland.”

  23. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜'𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: "𝗚𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗼: 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗢𝘄𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆" (𝗦. 𝗠. 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁, 𝗲𝗱.) -

    I don't know why so many of these stories I've accepted as told to me in summary. And while this (as so many) are told through the agency of a white translator, the story of its publication is nearly as fascinating.
