Reviews

[A] far-ranging survey...The focus throughout this illuminating and invaluable study is on secular modern Jewish writers from Central and Eastern Europe and their descendants. -- Library Journal (starred review) Excellent...Kirsch smoothly places the unprecedented events of the last century in a broad literary context that will help readers deepen understanding of them. Kirsch's wide, trenchant reading of Jewish writings provides insight for lay readers and scholars alike. -- Publishers Weekly
