informative slow-paced

I thought this book would be right up my alley, but I feel pretty meh about it. It has a lot of interesting information and introduced me to a lot of Yiddish-language artists and thinkers I hadn't been familiar with before. I just found the way it was offered... pretty uninteresting.
