In Stardust Lost, Stefan Kanfer brings the colorful Yiddish stage roaring back to life.

Review:
"Written in a crowd-pleasing style that ladles on the irresistible anecdotes. . . . Kanfer conveys the excitement and impact of Yiddish theater, not to mention its long shadow."--The New York Times Book Review"A lively history, capturing the spirit of the times and the sensibilities of the actors, writers and impresarios who, with great energy, passion and no training created an altogether new art. . . . In stylish prose that's a pleasure to read, Kanfer fuels the narrative with anecdotes and insights." --The Jewish Week"Kanfer must be commended for conveying his narrative in such vivid, sensual and often hilarious terms. . . . More than worth the price of admission." --Los Angeles Times Book Review"Kanfer's prose is clear, breezy, and entertaining. . . . Rivalry. Jealousy. Sabotage. Histrionics. Then as now, that's entertainment." --The New York Sun
