Moshe Dayan: To aim and hit, you need one eye only, and one good finger.
This is the funniest thing you'll watch today OR MAYBE EVER. More so if you're Jewish and/or have seen the movie Juno, which I haven't but I caught the preview so I think I "get" it. Written by Comedy Central-connected people which gives it mountains and molehills of cred.
Of course, they're all dudes and don't come close to the admiration I hold for Alicia Jo Rabins. Her "Girls in Trouble" Song Cycle at the Jewish Museum on Sunday will be the highlight of your week, if you choose to go.
Nextbook goes batty for Bernard Malamud. Rachel Donadio investigates why he is overshadowed by Bellow and Roth (oddly she doesn't ask Eli Valley who I think would know!) and Joe Hill conjures up a conversation with Malamud's famed Jewbird. (I didn't understand a word I just copied-and-pasted.)
