About this book: 'Share Our Strength (SOS)' was established in 1984 to raise funds through the American food and restaurant industry to combat famine. Subsequently it became much more of a broad based non-profit vehicle channelling creative talent and energy in a number of different fields towards those in need. When well-known writers made financial contributions to SOS, the organisation realised there was an opportunity to create a vehicle for writers to do much more than simply contribute dollars to a cause they were sympathetic to; and this book is the result

- The Sea of Azov [top]
Edited by Anne Joseph
First published in 2009 in Great Britain by Five Leaves, in hardback, ISBN 1905512619 in association with World Jewish Relief
Published in 2009 in Great Britain by Five Leaves, in paperback, 168pp, ISBN 9781905512607
About this book/synopsis: This book is called the Sea of Azov because Chekhov is the master of the short story and he was born there. Anne Joseph got involved with the project to publish this book because her grandparents had been recipients of CBF (Central British Fund for German Jewry; now World Jewish Relief) assistance. The stories within are by Jewish and non-Jewish writers and are between 2000 and 5000 words long with a theme of connection (this was the stipulation for each submitted story). Some authors have specifically written pieces solely for this book; others have had works reprinted into this volume; and some stories are making their debut into the English language in this book
