Fiction. Jewish Studies. Translated from the Hebrew by Margaret Birstein, Hana Inbar and Robert Manaster. Each of the twenty- one stories in AND SO IS THE BUS is an evocative "reporting" of Yossel Birstein's encounters with the daily riders of Jerusalem's many bus lines housewives, Chasids, beautiful women, a blind man, a shoemaker, an angry daughter, bus drivers, and more. These scrupulous translations give us a feel for the tone of Birstein's Yiddishized Hebrew a tone that in savoring personalities and conversations is empathically attuned to his chance meetings from one day to the next. "The world is moving on," says a character in Stolen Glance. "And after a short pause adds: 'And so is the bus.'"
