Debora Vogel (1900-1942) wrote her avant garde prose being inspired by the technique of montage in photography and film, and collage in painting. Her experiments demonstrate an impressive range of expression in the Yiddish language and enable readers to engage with Yiddish literature in new ways.

Montage: Works by Debora Vogel, translated by Anastasiya Lyubas, is currently available for purchase from White Goat Press. Information on how to purchase this book from a Canadian bookseller will be coming soon.
