No matter the weather, I don’t get into an autumn mindset till these two holidays are behind us. I know we’ll be together as a family to break the fast on September 16th. My brothers and I will discuss the quality and availability of smoked fish as we do every year, tell smokehouse stories—my brother Saul went to the smokehouses every week for years and years—and while none of us do that now, we still take a lot of interest in the fish we sell and the fish we eat. Need to turn your Labor Day barbecue into a Erev Rosh Hashanah family dinner? Need help going from summer’s ease to autumn obligations?

  • Margins Within Margins: an Interview with Ruth Knafo
    Margins within the Margins: An Interview with Ruth Knafo Setton and Farideh Dayanim Goldin Derek Parker Royal In the fall of 2007, I was invited to Lehigh University to give a lecture on Philip Roth’s fi ction as part of the Philip and Muriel Berman Center Lecture Series. My host was Ruth Knafo Setton, the Moroccan-born writer in residence at Lehigh’s Berman Center, the Professor of Practice in the University’s English Department, and now current director of the Berman Center. During my time there, I had the pleasure to talk with Setton about her own work—her fi rst novel, Th e Road to Fez, was published in 2001—and the state of contemporary fi ction. While she agreed with me that the past several years had witnessed a fl owering of new Jew- ish American writing, Setton was quick to point out that the authors who were capturing all of the attention were of Ashkenazi descent. Th ere was no one in this growing list of writers, she argued, who was creating from a Mizrahi or even a Sephardic sensibility. What is more, and ironically enough, most of America’s fi rst Jews, as well as their representatives in the arts and media, were Sephardic. Setton explained to me that if Jews were still marginal voices in America, then she was part of a community that felt marginalized within that margin. I re- sponded by inviting her to express her voice in the form of an interview. She agreed, and in early 2008 we began an engaging e-mail conversation that grew from a discussion of Sephardic authors to a full-blown exploration of her own work and aesthetics.
