"There were also several social events, the most fulfilling of which was the Daniel Crowley Memorial Storytelling Concert and book signing presented a unique experience of doing and viewing folklore at the same time. Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett interviewed her father Mayer Kirshenblatt on stage, presenting the auditorium a book with his memory drawings from Poland before the Holocaust. This academic interview and simultaneous storytelling event, embodying the essence of “listening with love”, at times claimed to be the definition of folklore studies." "News in Brief," Folklore [Estonia] 38 (2007): 151.
