After a twelve-year hiatus, Parchment, the only literary journal devoted to contemporary Canadian Jewish writing, is back!
The latest iteration of the journal is supported by a coast-to-coast-to-coast who’s who of Canadian Jewish writers, scholars, and litterateurs and will feature a mix of fiction, poetry, literary non-fiction, and translation that explores the many shades of Canadian Jewish life. In this episode, host Jonathan Slater sits down with Parchment’s new editor-in-chief, Orly Zebak, for a conversation about what the journal’s return means for the Canadian Jewish literary ecosystem, the role it’s primed to play in the wider Canadian literary conversation, and the perennially debated question: What is Canadian Jewish literature?
