Arguing that Jewish North American writing is too commonly
discussed as part of the mainstream, neglecting the Jewish aspects
of the works, Ravvin places the writing of Bellow, Richler, Cohen,
West, Mandel, Roth, and Rosenfarb within the Jewish context that
the works demand. Ravvin depicts a Jewish cultural landscape within
which postwar writers contend with community and identity,
continuity and loss, and highlights the way this particular
landscape is entangled with broader literary and cultural
traditions. He considers Bellow and West alongside apocalyptic
narratives, discusses Cohen in relation to the counterculture,
examines Mandel's postmodern view of history, and looks at
autobiography and ethics in Roth and Rosenfarb. At once scholarly
and poetic, A House of Words will appeal to the general reader of
Canadian, American, and Jewish literature and history, as well as
to specialists in these fields.
