INAF-290 Jewish-American Literature

Faculty:

Berlinerblau, Jacques

This course explores the writing of contemporary Jewish American writers with special attention to both the contents and literary form of their work. In terms of content, we explore these authors' depiction of the Jewish-American community, its internal tensions (especially as regards gender), its interaction with the gentile world, and its relation with the state of Israel. As for form, the class scrutinizes the literary style of the writers in question in hopes of determining if something such as "Jewish-American literary idiom" really exists.
