"Despite the fact that Bernard Malamud (1914-1986) wrote about selflessness and love as they applied to all human beings, he has long been referred to first and foremost as a Jewish-American writer, a term he disliked. Malamud's most significant works, including The Assistant (1957), The Magic Barrel (1958), The Fixer (1966), and The Tenants (1971) dealt with aspects of Jewish experience in both the Old World and the New. He felt, however, that his characters should be understood not for their Jewishness, but rather as symbolic of the human condition, as sufferers. Furthermore, such well-known novels as The Natural (1952) and A New Life (1961) are about men who either are not Jewish or do not practice their Judaism." "Bernard Malamud Revisited is the first comprehensive study of the author and all of his works, including the posthumous 1989 publication of The People and Uncollected Stories. Edward A. Abramson follows the development of Malamud's themes and techniques through a chronological study of his eight novels and a thematic discussion of his short stories. Abramson's analysis of the writer's impact proves that Malamud deserves a place in the American tradition alongside Hawthorne, Melville, Faulkner, and Hemingway - writers whose fiction is moralistic and frequently uses a particular type of allegory. Malamud is not simply a chronicler of Jewish life, but a universal artist, whose characters grow to a moral maturity that many other American fictional protagonists never reach."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

In the best literary tradition, Bernard Malamud uses the particular experiences of his subjects—Eastern European Jews, immigrant Americans, and urban African Americans—to express the universal. This book offers an exploration of this beloved American writer's fiction, which has won two National Book Awards and a Pulitzer Prize. In addition to the literary studies, personal recollections by son Paul Malamud, memoirs and portraits by good friends, colleagues, and fellow writers such as Cynthia Ozick, Daniel Stern, and Nicolas Delbanco illuminate Malamud's life and work. The contributors reveal that in an age that deconstructs, Malamud's voice does not. Instead, it speaks clearly and imaginatively with the weight of ancient traditions and the understanding of modern conditions.

When The Ph.D. Trap was first published in 1987, it hit academe like a bombshell. Wilfred Cude dared to pull back the veil of graduate school life to expose the harsh realities of modern advanced study. Using statistics, academic history, and diverse intellectual traditions, Cude revealed the Ph.D. program in most disciplines to be savage, mechanical, and cruel - an exploitative construct that often frustrates legitimate intellectual inquiry, shatters viable career expectations, and mangles personal and professional relations. In the years since, an outpouring of books, articles, and statistical data delineating serious weaknesses in contemporary higher education has provided a wealth of evidence supporting Cude's original thesis. The Ph.D. Trap Revisited amplifies Cude's arguments, with a synthesis and analysis of new data and information. Topics examined include the grad school numbers game, the rogue professor, muddles in methodology, the perils of apprenticeship, ethics and economics, existing alternatives, and recommendations for change. In an age of increasingly unchecked proliferation of the Ph.D. degree throughout academic institutions in the western world, Cude's work is a tonic.

Examining ten stories from Malamud's Selected Stories, the author examines Malamud in the context of the American and European, and not exclusively Jewish, tradition. She explores why Malamud chose the stories that he included in this work and how they relate to his social conscience. She argues that the stories demonstrate that the modern individual has broken the ancestral linearity of life, and that neither family, religion, nor community hold together today because of a lack of an appropriate set of values. She also explores Selected Stories as a literary work of art, showing how alienation and fragmentation have been recreated in the anthology by means of literary devices, using structural oppositions to examine such issues as security, mystery, and doubt.
