BROOKLYN — Authors Jonathan Safran Foer and Nathan Englander, seated together at a Brooklyn diner, would like to continue a discussion that has lasted for centuries.
They have collaborated on a text dating to Biblical times and revisited each year by millions of Jews worldwide. New American Haggadah, just published by Little, Brown and Company, is a new edition of the Passover narrative that has been edited by Foer and translated by Englander.
