Wallace Shawn and Deborah Eisenberg: An Ermine in Czernopol

The undervalued fiction of Gregor von Rezzori, an Austrian-born German-language novelist, includes much of Von Rezzori's own life as it was touched by two World Wars. Tonight, a pair of conscientious writers and critics, Wallace Shawn and Deborah Eisenberg, celebrate a new translation of Von Rezzori's post-WWI tale An Ermine in Czernopol.
