Join Moment for an engaging discussion with acclaimed novelist and poet Richard Zimler, known for his bestseller The Kabbalist of Lisbon. Zimler’s work focuses on giving a voice to those marginalized by history. He shares insights on being an American Jew in Portugal, the erasure of Jewish history in Portuguese culture, and the impact of generational trauma. Zimler also delves into his latest novel, The Incandescent Threads, part of his “Sephardic Cycle” exploring the Zarcos, a Portuguese-Jewish family. In recognition of his cultural contributions, Zimler received Porto’s prestigious Medal of Honor in 2017. Join Moment Editor Sarah Breger for this enlightening conversation.
