Original Wraps. 8vo. 22 pages. 23 cm. First edition. “On December 8, 2002, the Jewish Studies Program and the School of Arts and Sciences jointly co-sponsored a memorial symposium entitled “Chaim Potok and American-Jewish Culture. ” We invited three notable authors to speak – Hugh Nissenson, Daniel Walden, and Jonathan Rose – each of whom, we hoped would offer a different perspective upon Potoks work. The novelist Hugh Nissenson, who was Potok’s contemporary, wrote the front-page New York Times Book Review essay that had catapulted ‘The Chosen’ into best-sellerdom. Professor Daniel Walden, one of the deans of American-Jewish literary studies, had written extensively about Potok from an academic perspective. Finally, the novelist and essayist Jonathan Rosen seemed to us the perfect writer to discuss Potok; s influence and image among younger Jewish writers in America. ” (Introduction) Contents: Choosing the chosen: a reappraisal of Chaim Potok's the Chosen by Hugh Nissenson.
