The Village of Little Pletzl-on-the-Zump

The Village of Little Pletzl-on-the-Zump is the sequel to the book The Village of Little Comely-on-the-Marsh. Pletzl, the story, weaves around the lives of a bizarre Yiddish-speaking community of 613 people living for hundreds of years in a small village somewhere in the south of France, exclusively in their own world, without a care or a familiarity with their surroundings. They speak a distinctive Yiddish dialect called Frantsoydish. Pletzl, in essence, is a clone community, not unlike that of the Welsh community of Comely. Both villages, although close to each other, have no knowledge they both exist, until . . . The storyline humorously with innate satire and respect addresses cultural diversity fears that go beyond the stereotypes of our society and demonstrates that we can make fun of ourselves, irrespective of where we come from.
