Synopsis

Marvin S. Zuckerman was born in 1932 in the Bronx, New York City. His parents were Yiddish-speaking garment workers, members of the Jewish Labor Bund from Warsaw, Poland.

After moving to Los Angeles in the 1950s, he became a professor of English and Yiddish at Los Angeles Valley College, where he chaired the English Department for 15 years and was Dean of Instruction for six years. He also founded the Courtlandt Literary Agency.

His books range from the humorous Yiddish Sayings Mama Never Taught You (Perivale Press, 1975), to the educational Learning Yiddish in Easy Stages (Joseph Simon / Publisher, 1984), to the monumental Three Great Classic Writers of Modern Yiddish Literature in three volumes: Mendele Moykher-Sforim, Sholem-Aleykhem, and I. L. Peretz (Joseph Simon / Publisher, 1991-1996). Most recently, he translated Twenty Years with the Jewish Labor Bund: A Memoir of Interwar Poland by Bund militia leader Bernard Goldstein (Purdue University Press, 2016).

Other writings collected in this book comprise over 50 years of articles, reviews, translations, interviews, introductions to Yiddish literature, talks, and letters. Some highlights are a biography of Yiddish poet and translator Yehoash, an account of the Yiddish anarchist movement and its leader Rudolf Rocker, and an encounter with Isaac Bashevis Singer.

He is married to surfing icon Kathy “Gidget” Zuckerman; has two children, film producer David Kohner Zuckerman and professor/writer Philip Zuckerman; a loving daughter-in-law, Stacy Elliott; and three wonderful grandchildren, Ruby, Flora, and August.
