Since World War II, Jewish-American novelists have significantly contributed to the world of literature. This reference book includes alphabetically arranged entries for more than 75 Jewish-American novelists whose major works were largely written after World War II. Included are entries for both well-known and relatively obscure novelists, many of whom are just becoming established as significant literary figures. While the volume profiles major canonical figures such as Saul Bellow, Norman Mailer, and Bernard Malamud, it also aims to be more inclusive than other works on contemporary Jewish-American writers. Thus there are entries for gay and lesbian novelists such as Lev Raphael and Judith Katz, whose works challenge the more orthodox definition of Jewish religious and cultural traditions; Art Speigelman, whose controversial ^IMaus^R established a new genre by combining elements of the comic book and the conventional novel; and newcomers such as Steve Stern and Max Apple, who have become more prominent within the last decade. Each entry includes a brief biography, a discussion of major works and themes, an overview of the novelist's critical reception, and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources. A thoughtful introduction summarizes Jewish-American fiction after World War II, and a selected, general bibliography lists additional sources of information. Since World War II, Jewish-American novelists have made numerous significant contributions to contemporary literature. Authors of earlier generations would frequently write about the troubles and successes of Jewish immigrants to America, and their works would reflect the world of European Jewish culture. But like other immigrant groups, Jewish-Americans have become increasingly assimilated into mainstream American culture. Many feel the loss of their heritage and long for something to replace the lost values of the old world.

Focuses on seven contemporary Jewish American writers, relating to topics such as the Orthodox way of life, interest in pre-Holocaust Europe, Israel, Jewish feminism, and the Holocaust. Ch. 3 (pp. 40-57), "The (Mischievous) Theological Imagination of Melvin Jules Bukiet, " explores the viability of a meaningful Jewish identity in a post-Holocaust world in works set in pre-Holocaust Poland, in postwar Europe, and in the U.S. today. Bukiet's "After" (1996) is a controversial, ironic work that deals with anti-heroic Holocaust survivors and their impious attempts to engage the post-Holocaust theological crisis. Ch. 4 (pp. 58-81), "Thane Rosenbaum's 'Elijah Visible': Jewish American Fiction, the Holocaust, and the Double Bind of the Second-Generation Witness, " is another version of an essay that appeared in "The Americanization of the Holocaust" (1999). Rosenbaum presents American children of Holocaust survivors suffering from the ghosts of their parents' experiences in Europe.

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.

This book is concerned with the “impious” Holocaust fictions of four contemporary Jewish American novelists. It argues that their work should not be seen as insensitive, but rather as explorations of various forms of renewal.
