Writing Jewish and Non-Jewish Fiction for Young People
Two names and two audiences.
What makes literature Jewish, and what distinguishes a Jewish author from an author who happens to be a Jew, have been questions much debated over the past several decades. Franz Kafka was a Jew, and very conscious of the fact, yet his stories never explicitly mention Jews or Judaism, although countless readers have searched them for these themes. George Eliot wasn’t Jewish, but her Daniel Deronda qualifies as Jewish literature because of its Jewish subject matter. Philip Roth, all whose books are peopled by explicitly Jewish characters, famously resisted the label.
