Joke-Making Jews / Jokes Making Jews: Humor and Identity
in American Jewish Fiction and Film
Sinopsis :
Beginning from the premise that humor plays a prominent role
in the construction of both group and individual identities,
these scholarly essays explore humor and its construction of
American Jewish identity in American Jewish fiction and film.
The essays examine works by Abraham Cahan, Saul Bellow,
Bernard Malamud, Philip Roth, Woody Allen, Joel &ampEthan
Coen, Allegra Goodman, and Nathan Englander. Though
organized as chapters, the essays do not build upon one
another progressively, but instead center on a unified thesis,
with the intent that the whole equal more than the sum of its
parts. Published academically in 2004, this collection is now
available in book form for the first time, for a broader audience.
