Saul Bellow tells a brutal coming-of-age story set in Chicago; Mark Helprin recalls a stint in the Israeli army during the Six-Day War; Grace Paley explores the complex relationship between Jews and Blacks; Philip Roth muses on what life would have been like for Kafka if he had come to America, and maybe dated Roth's aunt\u003cbr\u003e        \u003cbr\u003eFrom I.B. Singer's unforgettable depiction of a widower in Miami Beach to Michael Chabon's California-style Jewish wedding and Allegra Goodman's satiric portrayal of a yuppie Orthodox family, a rare view--and one surprising in its diversity--emerges out of the contemporary experience in America.\u003ci\u003eIntroductions\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTed Solotaroff: \u003ci\u003eThe Open Community\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNessa Rapoport: \u003ci\u003eSummoned by the Feast\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMax Apple: \u003ci\u003eThe Eighth Day\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSaul Bellow: \u003ci\u003eSomething to Remember Me By\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarsha Lee Berkman: \u003ci\u003eDeeds of Love and Rage\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichael Chabon: \u003ci\u003eS Angel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eE.L.
