Description
The problem of identity for the Jew has many distinct yet interrelated facets religious, territorial, cultural, racial. . . . Paycha begins and ends with the cultural stereotype of Shylock which, with all its cliches, is not completely dead. Her study is a close reading of three major writers George Eliot, Israel Zangwill and Philip Roth. Each presents a complex and difficult portrait of Jewish identity. . . . In its short space, this book achieves a remarkable subtlety in its drawing together of a wide range of reference from the literary to the religious and the political. . . . I find this a hugely suggestive book, bold and clear in its claims. David Jasper
