Caught in a solitude that is neither English nor French, Jewish-Canadian writers wrestle with marginality and exile as they search for status and recognition in Canadian society. Using the strategies for understanding marginality developed by such post-structuralist writers as Harold Bloom and Jacques Derrida, Michael Greenstein discusses this "third solitude" through an analysis of the works of Jewish-Canadian writers including Irving Layton, Leonard Cohen, Adele Wiseman, Eli Mandel, Jack Ludwig, Norman Levine, Monique Bosco, and Matt Cohen.
