Shia Miller: Bibliography
The bulk of the biographical information on this path comes from Yankev Glatshteyn's memorial essay in honor of Shia Miller in his book In Tokh Genumen: Esayen 1949-59 (1960) and from conversations between the translator, Tamar Schneider Levin, and Caroline Luce. This selected bibliography was compiled by Caroline Luce, but is far from complete. A complete bibliography of reviews, essays, and articles about Shia Miller's work appears at the end of his book Skeptishe Makhshoyves (pages 333-343), published after his death in 1958.
