And what a tribe - the European Jews; Proust, Kafka, Primo Levi, the Yiddish author Shalom Alechem and Londoner Israel Zangwill, the American Jewish writers; Saul Bellow, Philip Roth and Cynthia Ozick, Brazilian Clarice Lispector, Canadian Mordecai Richler and, of course the Israelis like Amos Oz and Nobel-winner S.Y. Agnon. The Babel Guide is a unique introduction to fiction by Jews from around the world available in English with inviting, informative reviews of 150 new and old Jewish classics, with and author database and a list of all fiction translated from Yiddish and Hebrew into English.
