I cannot add much more than this fine article, and review of works in the NY Times as well as a more Israeli and Jewish slant in the Jerusalem Post. He was a brilliant author who was admired in his own lifetime, even winning a Nobel. His works are those of an American author, but there’s no question that he was also Jewlicious.

I’ll never forget the first time I read Henderson, the Rain King and felt its awesome power. Or Seize the Day. He has affected the lives of many.

  • And a canuck to boot! What the hell is going on? I get on a plane for 8 hours and people start dropping like flies? Who is next? Who???

  • Another great man of letters, much like Arthur Miller, who defined the 20th century and lived beyond into the 21st–dies, and nary a comment from the self-centered, sanctimonious, jet-setting, uber-Juden. Does anybody read anymore!!

  • No, nobody reads anymore. I think it’s the combination of the numerous available media sources, combined with the prevalence of the Internet, combined with everybody having to work to make a living to a point where people work longer and harder than 20 or 30 years ago, and even among families and couples you have both working long hours.

    A book requires time and leisure. A complex book or play requires a good deal of thought as well.

    We are a tv and computer society.

    On the other hand, what’s with the stupid neo-Nazi insults?

  • Didn’t you say on another post…”I remember it well when I called Jews, who wear orange stars to suggest their government resembles a Nazi government, buffoons. I stand by the comment.”? Tolerance, my boy. The lessons and allegories of Miller, Bellows, Aleichem, and Singer need to be re-read and re-learned.

  • Uh yeah, thanks, but the word “Juden” when used in combination with the other comments kinda smells bad. Ya know?
