"An extraordinary tale of intellectual adventure" —James Kugel, author of How to Read the Bible.
In Sacred Trash, MacArthur-winning poet and translator Peter Cole and acclaimed essayist Adina Hoffman tell the story of the retrieval from an an Egyptian geniza, or repository for worn-out texts, of the most vital cache of Jewish manuscripts ever discovered.
Part biography and part meditation on the supreme value the Jewish people has long placed on the written word, Sacred Trash is above all a gripping tale of adventure and redemption.
