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.

Uh yeah, thanks, but the word “Juden” when used in combination with the other comments kinda smells bad. Ya know?
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.
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?
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!!
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???
A truly great writer. He will be missed.
And Ravelstein. That book is amazing.
