Eugene Yelchin: Breaking Stalin's Nose
LISTEN TO THE PODCAST | BUY THE BOOK
🕮 At
the 2012 Association of Jewish Libraries conference, I sat with author
Eugene Yelchin during lunch and snuck in a quick interview. He's the
author of the 2012 Newbery Honor book Breaking Stalin's Nose, based on his own youth in Stalinist Moscow.
He gave a very moving talk about freedom of information earlier during
the conference. Yelchin is also the illustrator of Ann Stampler's
picture book, The Rooster Prince of Breslov, named a 2011 Notable
Book by the Association of Jewish Libraries and winner of the Jewish
Book Council's National Jewish Book Award.
