Feeling Jewish

Four writers explore the portrayal of Jews in American literature. Zachary Leader, the acclaimed biographer of Saul Bellow, Devorah Baum, author of the forthcoming Feeling Jewish and Howard Jacobson, Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Finkler Question discuss how evocations of Jewishness might affect social perceptions. The conversation is chaired by Adam Thirlwell, novelist and London editor of The Paris Review.
