Bible as a source of literature:� Kafka and the Bible

Literary Criticism:� The Jew of Malta, Revisited

A little corruption is good for the soul, and Christopher Marlowe�s 'The Jew of Malta' is not a saint, not by a longshot! Purity is reserved for virgins and prophets; the one soon to be corrupted, the other, it would appear, soon to be reformed. Contrary to Shakespeare's Shylock, in 'The Jew of Venice', Barabas, the anti-hero of this remarkable play written in 1588, is neither a devil nor a prophet in need of redemption. [Full article...]

The men looked like friends, the girls held promise. 'What the hell, I'll join them,' thought Hank. [Full article...]

Jews and Gentiles in the Fictional Mirror:� Borges on The Jews

Two of the greatest writers of the last century, Jorge Luis Borges and James Joyce, illustrated the dilemmas of modern day humanity by focusing on the plight of the Jew: for Borges and Joyce, the Jewish condition was the perfect metaphor for a deeper understanding of the individual and society. Despite the two writers’ very genuine appreciation for the Jewish spiritual and intellectual tradition, they have not been granted sufficient attention in the Jewish world. In this informative piece, Gustavo Perednik sets out to set the record straight. [Full article...]
