About this person
Nahum Meïr Schaikewitz, also known by his pseudonym "Shomer" was a Yiddish and Hebrew novelist and playwright. Although he was very popular in his time and a giant in Yiddish literature, sometimes styled the "Dumas of Yiddish literature", he was significantly damaged by Sholem Aleichem, who derided his plotting as extravagantly artificial and improbable, characteristic of a cheap potboiler.
