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