Description
Focusing on the way Jewish history - particularly the Holocaust - and tradition inform postwar Canadian and American Jewish literature, A House of Words offers innovative readings of the works of such influential writers as Saul Bellow, Leonard Cohen, Eli Mandel, Mordecai Richler, Chava Rosenfarb, Philip Roth, and Nathanael West. Norman Ravvin highlights the concerns that these disparate writers share as Jewish writers as well as placesg their work in the context of the broader traditions of multiculturalism, postcolonial writing, and critical theory.
