 Talking books

 

For several years, Asher Suss has recorded talking books for the Jewish Braille Institute (JBI). Last year he was awarded the Candle of Understanding Award, when he was cited for giving more volunteer hours in one year than anyone in recent memory.

Because of his foreign language abilities, Asher is called upon to read books no one else is able to do there and is often consulted on pronunciation by other readers.

Below is a partial listing of books he has recorded and which are available to subscribers of the Jewish Braille Institute and the Library of Congress and its National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped:

  • A Tale of Love and Darkness by Amos Oz

  • Two Lives by Vikram Seth (currently being recorded)

  • Yale Companion to Jewish Writing and Thought in German, 1096-1996, edited by Sander L. Gilman and Jack Zipes
