  • ENG 351 Lecture 27 1 Let's Look at Malamud First — and It's Malamud
    ENG 351 Lecture 27 1 Let’s look at Malamud first — and it’s Malamud, Bernard Malamud. Everybody’s probably seen the film — the Robert Redford movie, The Natural, which is based on Malamud’s first novel, loosely. The novel and the movie are very different. The novel certainly does not end the way the movie does, with the balls bouncing off the lights and all that. It’s not that way at all. Malamud was born in Brooklyn and took a Master’s degree at Columbia. Was another one of our university teachers. He taught at Bennington from 1961 until he died in 1986 — or until he retired. His second novel was The Assistant in 1957. The Fixer, 1966, is a very strange book. It’s a historical novel set in Russia during the Czar’s times. About a Jewish handyman who’s accused of murdering a Christian child in some kind of ritual murder. It’s part of this anti-Semitic background of Russia at the time. Toward the end of his life he began to experiment with form — postmodern forms, Dubin’s Lies and things like that, that I find very difficult reading. But the stories in “The Magic Barrel,” a first collection, 1958, are absolutely wonderful and I recommend that collection to you. Well, I’m making that big statement here. Malamud is one of several -- probably the lesser light of several important Jewish writers who showed up, kind of starting with Norman Mailer after World War II in the ‘40s and were writing in the ‘50s and ‘60s.

Most references are concerned primarily with America and the American scene, writers whose primary language is not English have been included only if their works have been translated. The bibliography has been divided firat to list anthologies dealing with the white ethnic experience, then to list fiction, drama, poetry, biography, history, and criticism dealing with European ethnic groups in America (Dutch, German, Greek, Hungarian, Armenian, Irish, Italian, Jewish, Scandinavian, and Slavic). Whether or not a book is in print or available in paper is indicated.

But we judge morally the author of an autobiography, whose governing motive is primarily ethical as against aesthetic. (Roth 1989: 165) In her graphic novel Lena Finkle’s Magic Barrel (2014), Anya Ulinich compellingly explores the tensions between life and art, fact and fiction and autobiography and the novel. This essay traces two of her strategies for achieving this: Ulinich’s intertextual dialogue with a number of works by Philip Roth and with Bernard Malamud’s short story ‘The Magic Barrel’; and her creation of what Miriam Libicki has called a ‘gonzo self’.

  • Singer's the Joke7' and Malamud's the German Refugee"
    American Studies in Scandinavia, Vol. 11, 1979: 49-60 Two Immigrations : Singer's the Joke7' and Malamud's the German Refugee" BY Pirjo Ahokas University of Turku Isaac Bashevis Singer and Bernard Malamud are widely regarded as two of the main representatives of contemporary Jewish-Ameri- can letters. Their rise to prominence coincided with the rise of inter- est and popularity that Jewish fiction began to gain in the United States after the end of World War 11. The European-born Singer has lived in America since 1935 and he is currently considered as the foremost living Yiddish writer in the world today. His later works have appeared simultaneously in Yiddish and in English. The Yiddish qualities in the fiction of Bernard Malamud - Singer's junior by ten years - have also been frequently commented on, even though he was born to Russian immigrant parents in New York and he only writes in English. In spite of the similarities and obvious parallels that occur on different narrative levels, the Jewish qualities in each of the two writers show themselves in divergent ways. Several critics have pointed out that Singer's and Malamud's works, particularly their short stories, strike similar chords, but so far the common features have not been given more than fleeting attention in the critical books and articles on the two writers. Singer and Malamud are accomplished storytellers who have won more praise for their short fiction than for their long works. They both use Jewish materials and their special achievement is in large part based on their treatment of Jewish characters and settings.

  • Different Attitudes to American Jew's Life in the Early Works of Bernard Malamud and Philip Roth a Thesis Presented to the Gradu
    Different Attitudes to American Jew's Life in the Early Works of Bernard Malamud and Philip Roth A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Language and Culture, Hiroshima Jogakuin University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts by Yumi Hirata January 1997 Contents Introduction . 1 Chapter I The Essence of Jewishness . 6 Chapter II The Closed Setting and the Emancipated Setting . .24 Chapter III The World of Humor and Satire . m Conclusion . 54 Works Consulted . .59 Introduction What kind of meaning does the concept of Jewishness have for the modern Jewish Americans? The Jews have wandered all over the world for about four thousands years from the time of Abraham. Suffering under such wandering condition, Jews desperately tried to seek a place for peaceful living, and they finally reached the new safe world called the Unite States. However, according to the commonly accepted idea that man has to sacrifice something to make his dreams come true, the Jews also had to sacrifice their identity as Jews to acculturate themselves to the American soci- ety. In addition, as time goes by, the number of intermarriage between different races have increased, and Jewishness have been becoming a concept of little significance for the contemporary American Jews. However, when the Jews consider their identity he cannot escape from recognizing both their Jewishness and Amerト canism. Thus Jews cannot eliminate their racial trace existing in their blood as Jews no matter how many years pass by. At the beginning of immigration to the United States, the Jews were directly and deeply distressed by the necessity of keeping their Jewish identity and becoming American citizens.

  • The Strange Play of Traumatic Reality: Enchantment in Jewish American Literature
    THE STRANGE PLAY OF TRAUMATIC REALITY: ENCHANTMENT IN JEWISH AMERICAN LITERATURE Sarah R. Workman A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Erin Carlston Tyler Curtain María DeGuzmán Dean Franco Heidi Kim © 2016 Sarah R. Workman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Sarah R. Workman: THE STRANGE PLAY OF TRAUMATIC REALITY: ENCHANTMENT IN JEWISH AMERICAN LITERATURE (Under the Direction of Erin G. Carlston and Heidi Kim) This project analyzes the play of narrative worlds in the work of Bernard Malamud (The Magic Barrel), Michael Chabon (The Yiddish Policemen’s Union), Nicole Krauss (Great House), Jonathan Safran Foer (Everything Is Illuminated), Nathan Englander (“The Tumblers”), and the Coen brothers (A Serious Man). These texts self-consciously dramatize the question: How do we know what we think we know about Holocaust history? The serious play of fantasy registers a historical shift in Jewish American literature towards metafictional approaches to mediating Holocaust history, exposing the unconsidered intersections between speculative fiction and historiography. This work flouts interpretive conventions of narrative ontologies to problematize meaning-making in Holocaust studies, subverting assumptions that this history is either knowable or not knowable. In addition to showing the limited ability of historical realism to incorporate Holocaust representation in an American literary context, the project highlights the ways in which fantasy genres—long discarded to the bottom of the critical dustbin—mediate history, absence, and loss. To conceptualize this contemporary turn to genre-mixing, I develop a critical schemata entitled enchantment.

  • Tokoh-Tokoh Wanita Yahudi Amerika Dalam Karya Bernard Malamud ("The Magic Barrel" Dan the Assistant) Dan Philip Roth (
    Universitas Indonesia Library >> UI - Tesis (Membership) Tokoh-tokoh wanita Yahudi Amerika dalam karya Bernard Malamud ("The Magic Barrel" dan The Assistant) dan Philip Roth ("Epstein" dan Goodbye, Columbus) Yosep Bambang Margono S., author Deskripsi Lengkap: http://lib.ui.ac.id/detail?id=78566&lokasi=lokal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Abstrak <b>ABSTRAK</b> Kaum wanita Yahudi Amerika memiliki peran dan posisi yang berbeda dari kaum wanita Yahudi Eropa. Di Fropa, kaum wanita Yahudi sepenuhnya berada di bawah kekuasaan kaum laki-laki. Tetapi di Amerika mereka memiliki posisi yang lebih baik. Benar bahwa mereka belum sepenuhnya terbebas dari kekuasaan laki-laki, namun mereka telah mengalami perubahan-perubahan besar berkaitan dengan peran dan posisi mereka Perubahan-perubahan tersebut tidak otomatis terjadi, melainkan karena mereka perjuangkan. Proses Amerikanisasi dan gerakan feminisme kaum wanita kulit putih Amerika memiliki pengaruh yang besar terhadap perjuangan kaum wanita Yahudi Amerika untuk bisa memiliki peran dan posisi yang sejajar dengan kaum prianya. Perubahan-perubahan yang terjadi di kalangan kaum wanita Yahudi Amerika bisa dilihat dalam sikap mereka terhadap hubungan percintaan, terhadap orang tua, maupun terhadap agama. Perubahan-perubahan ini bisa kita lihat proyeksinya di dalam karya satra, yakni dalam karya Bernard Malamud ("The Magic Barrel" dan The Assistant) den Philip Roth ("Epstein" dan Goodbye, CoIumbus). Oleh karena itu tujuan penulisan tesis ini adalah untuk menunjukkan adanya perubahan sikap tokoh-tokoh wanita Yahudi Amerika terhadap hubungan percintaan, terhadap orangtua, dan terhadap agama di dalam karya-karya Bernard Malamud dan Philip Roth yang sudah di sebut di atas. Di dalam menganalisis keempat karya dari dua pengarang tersebut, penulis menggunakan tiga teori., yakni (1) teori hubungan antara pengarang, karya sastra dan realitas, (2) teori asimilasi, dan (3) teori gender.
