New online: "Heidegger’s antisemitism itself turns into a banality—with little that is original about its content it or its form," writes David Stromberg.

Nice article. Reading Safranskis Heidegger book, I had the impression, that Heidegger wanted to become the leading philosopher against the "mythical jew" representing modernism and ontological separation. But this was rejected by Amt Rosenberg, what peeved him.

'Singer’s response to this self-alienation was to promote the possibility of a holistic Yiddishkayt in the US, composed of study houses, a café culture and inspired publishers.'

In my grad translation seminar, one of our topics is how we talk about translation, how we write about it, and how it is reviewed. Last week we looked at a wide array of reviews, and this insightful piece by @davidscribbler was brought to my attention.

Writer David Stromberg @davidscribbler began translating I.B. Singer's essays that he wrote using the pen name, Yitskhok Varshavski. Singer often portrayed himself as the sole guardian of the annihilated world of Polish Jewry.

"Singer revised his original text throughout its translation, but one emendation stands out: the complete elimination of a new female character, Nancy Isabelle, the intelligent, educated, funny, and generous Jewish woman who appears in the final chapters."

“To me, the bigger question was whether this artwork had the effect of a Leonardo. And when I looked at an image of the restored painting, I could not be sure. I saw a hint of the master before me, but something seemed to be missing.” —@davidscribbler

A few years ago, Israeli artist @yanaisegal announced that he’d begun a digital restoration of the “Salvator Mundi,” alleged to be Leonardo’s. In our Summer issue, @davidscribbler crafts a portrait of Segal’s obsession.

In our Summer issue, @davidscribbler explores issues of identity and illegitimacy, creativity and artistic origins, beauty and fragility—and whether a digital restoration just might get us closer to the heart of a painting made hundreds of years ago.
