Are books about Chaim Potok written by other authors, acceptable on your list? If not, Edward Abramson's book can be removed :)

Ben

I initially intended it to just be books by Potok, but after the books about him were added, I reconsidered. It kind of forms a complete cosmos of all that is Potok!

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I reworded the list description.
