Tending to his flock
A long and winding conversation with author Sam Apple and Hans Breuer, the subject of Apple’s Schlepping Through the Alps about a wandering Austrian shepherd who doubles as a Yiddish folk singer. The discussion meanders from the serious (lingering German anti-Semitism) to the mundane (the intellectual statements of a toilet with a wrinkled copy of “The Brothers Karamazov” resting atop it.) Enjoy.
