Simone Zelitch
 
 
Simone Zelitch’s award-winning novels novels range in subject-matter from a medieval peasant revolt to Mississippi Freedom Summer to real and imaginary Jewish history and legend. Research for Judenstaat has led her to study Yiddish in Lithuania, as well as to travel to former East Germany and Israel, where she studied how history was presented and erased in monuments and museums across both  countries. Judenstaat was published by Tor in 2016 and will be coming out in a paperback edition with PM Press this month. She has moderated panels at Philcon and elsewhere on “Alternative History in the Age Alternative Facts”, “Remembering Ursula K. Le Guin” and “Jewish Science Fiction.” For the past twenty years, she has taught English at Community College of Philadelphia, and writes in the summer, mostly. You can find out more about the author and her work at www.simonezelitch.com.
