And they said Yiddish was dead

Since Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman’s first book together, YIDDISH WITH DICK AND JANE, proved to be such a success, they are going back to the well:

Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman’s YIDDISH WITH GEORGE AND LAURA, a

follow-up to the bestselling Yiddish With Dick and Jane, featuring the

whole Bush mispocha (family) speaking Yiddish in Kennebunkport, again

to Terry Adams at Little, Brown, for publication in fall 2006, by Paul

Bresnick at Paul Bresnick Agency.

OK, Yiddish in Kennebunkport…forgive me as I pick myself off the floor. Which I suppose is the point.

No word on whether YIDDISH WITH POL POT AND IDI AMIN will be the third installment of the series, although at this point YIDDISH WITH STEPHEN AND BELINDA might be funnier.
