I recently had the chance to interview Sholem Aleichem - the Jewish Mark Twain.

Here's the interview. http://www.wildriverreview.com/COLUMN-Interviews-with-the-famously-departed/Sholem-Aleichem/Joseph-Glantz

Here's a sample.

What's your take on psychiatry?

SHOLEM ALEICHEM: I was foolish enough to butt in on a married couple in order to make up between them, the outcome of which was that I took it on the chin from my own wife

What best distinguishes man from the four-legged animals?

SHOLEM ALEICHEM: Without fingers you can't thumb your nose.

Joseph, that was a lot of fun to read. With the added bonus of reading about you. Quite impressive.

He is was a very witty fellow, and I confess my ignorance in that this is the first I have heard of him... thanks. I am especially fond of humour.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. Aristotle
