Short Story, Long Life

A course in the timeless short stories of four Jewish authors: Bernard Malamud, Philip Roth, Cynthia Ozick, and the great Canadian-Latvian-Jewish David Bezmozgis. We'll also consider movies made from some of these stories, like Roth's "Goodbye Columbus" and Bezmozgis's "Natasha."

The author of four books, including The Newish Jewish Encyclopedia, #1 in Amazon's Jewish Life and Jewish Humor categories, he is now writing a book about the Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh (due in 2021).
