On Tuesday 24th November Michael Wex gave a talk to the Toronto Reading Series about his writing process.
He was the third of three authors (the others being Ian Brown talking about his book The Boy in the Moon: A Father's Search for His Disabled Son and Catherine Gildiner with After the Falls
) talking about what brought them to write their books and how they went about it.
Here's Wex discussing the great Yiddish expression hak mir nisht ken tshaynik at the National Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, MA.
Wex talks to a predominantly Jewish Canadian audience about How to Be a Mentsh (and Not a Shmuck) at this year's appearance at the Toronto Jewish Book Fair.
