Alumnus Goldberg writes first novel about Soviet-era Russia

(02/03/16 5:22am)

Paul Goldberg, Trinity ’81 and the editor and publisher of The Cancer Letter—a weekly national newsletter that closely investigated and reported on the Anil Potti scandal—has written his first novel, “The Yid.” His book, which was reviewed in The New York Times Jan. 20, is set in the Soviet Union and revolves around the end of Joseph Stalin’s life. Goldberg, who immigrated from Russia in 1973, focused on Stalin’s final blow to the country’s remaining Jewish citizens, drawing on the experiences of his friends and relatives in Russia for material. Goldberg will host a reading of his new book at The Regulator Bookshop on Ninth Street at 7 p.m. March 2. The Chronicle’s Heather Zhou recently spoke with Goldberg about his new novel.
