What, and Who, is a Jewish Writer?

Hosted By: Park Avenue Synagogue, UJA-Federation of New York, The New York Jewish Week

For many decades, American Jewish authors have tried to untangle their two identities, reckoning with both Jewishness and Americanness in their writing. Joshua Cohen and Nicole Krauss, two prominent younger novelists who have emphasized Jewish themes in their books, will discuss how these identities influence who they are as authors and how they approach their portrayals of Jewish life through these lenses.
