Description
This book offers insight into the approaches of a new generation of Jewish-American writers.
Whether they reimagine their ancestors' "shtetl life" or invent their own kind of Jewishness, they have a common curiosity in what makes them Jewish.
Is it because most of them are third-generation Americans who don't worry about assimilation as their parents' generation did?
If so, how does the writing of recent Jewish immigrants from the former Soviet Union fit into the picture?
Unlike Irving Howe predicted in 1977, Jewish-American literature did not fade after immigration.
It always finds new paths, drawing from the vast scope of Jewish life in America.
