TWO NEW ANNUALS EXPLORE TWO VERY DIFFERENT LITERARY WORLDS: The "Israeli" and "American Jewish"
The Jewish Experience in Contemporary Literature: Two Worlds
AVAILABILITY DETAILS AT BOTTOM
For over 20 years, Modern Hebrew Literature has helped English speakers keep abreast of Israel�s hyper-active literary scene. Now in journal format, each issue will include translations of excerpts from forthcoming new novels and short stories, articles on a variety of literary topics, interviews with authors, and a selection of poetry and reviews of books recently published in Hebrew. For those who find reading Hebrew beyond their grasp, MHL provides a wonderful insight into the hothouse of intellectual and creative activity from Israel. Recent years have seen a multiplication of styles and talents of an amazing nature, and this new series reflects that diversity, which is reflective itself of the many faces of the country. The first issue of the new series, Lives in Disguise, brings excerpts of new works by Sapir Prize winner Amir Gutfreund, Yoram Kaniuk, Haim Be�er plus many other new writers. MHL is edited by Gershon Shaked, Professor Emeritus of Hebrew Literature at The Hebrew University. ISBN: 1 59264 092 3
Maggid showcases the best new Jewish writing in every genre from around the world. While the world Jewish community has long enjoyed any number of excellent magazines of various political, religious, or philosophical leanings, the founders and editors of Maggid have long sensed the need for a forum for Jewish writers and readers unencumbered by bias or ideological shading: it is an open journal for the literary expression of the multifaceted Jewish experience around the world. This first issue celebrates the 350th anniversary of the Jewish settlement in North America and features the work of Max Apple, Melvin Jules Bukiet, Leslie Epstein, Rebecca Goldstein, Allen Hoffman, Cynthia Ozick, Robert Pinsky, Joseph Skibell, Aryeh Lev Stollman, Steve Stern, and a rediscovered work by Emma Lazarus. Michael Kramer is the Head of the Department of English Literature at Bar Ilan University, and is the editor The Cambridge Companion to Jewish American Literature. ISBN: 1 59264 089 3
