JEWISH WRITERS

INTRODUCTION Welcome to the first public version of this guide, listing Jewish writers representing all literary genres (e.g., poetry, fiction, theatre), as well as other selected fields (e.g., philosophy, psychology). Authors are arranged by their most commonly used last name (see note below), identifying major areas of writing, nationality, dates of birth and death, the title of a representative work, awards and distinctions, and a Web link, as available. Information about resources for further research can be found at the bottom of this document.

The purpose of this document is, firstly, to provide researchers and readers with as exhaustive a list of writers of Jewish background as possible. Therefore, inclusion here is based on the broadest possible criteria: any writer self-identified as Jewish or with a Jewish parent. This leaves the decision of whom to include to researchers and students who use this as a starting point.

Secondly, this guide serves to document the Jewish cultural, intellectual, and historical experience and its contributions through the written word. What started as a simple list of major writers has evolved into an act of cultural rescue or memorial. Spanning more than 2,000 years and six continents, this list represents an in-gathering of Jewish thought and creativity that mirrors the success and tragedy of the Diaspora. Among the well-known names below, you will find many now lost to obscurity, marginalized by time, language, and geography, and far too many whose lives and work were ploughed under by the engines of history.

At the same time, this project uncovered a creative and intellectual contribution broader and deeper than anticipated. For instance, the list includes fourteen Nobel Prize in Literature laureates, dozens of Pulitzer Prize recipients, five US poet laureates, as well as many Oscar and Tony winners. You will also find the Jewish roots of such cultural icons as Don Quixote, Madame Butterfly, Bambi, Curious George, and Gidget. This work also provided a chance to rediscover the world of Yiddish letters and encounter Jewish literary communities in South Africa, Australia, and Latin America, as well as significant contributions by Jews in India, the Caribbean, and post-Holocaust France, Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Germany.

I am grateful for the help I received in compiling this list, acknowledged in the "Sources" section below, and particularly the generous permission of Zachary Baker, whose Essential Yiddish Books was a starting point in identifying so many of the Yiddish writers. Work on building this list, adding and augmenting entries, as well as adding new features and functions, will be ongoing. Your suggestions and corrections are welcome.

* Names: I have tried to select the most readily identifiable version of each name or the one that will work best in a library catalog search and file it accordingly. However, correct and consistent identification of authors by name can difficult under the best of circumstances. Is it Mark Twain or Samuel Clemens? Sholem Aleichem or Shalom Rabinowitz? With Jewish writers, transliterations (yes, plural, as in more than one possible version) can add to the confusion. Is it Moyshe, Moshe, Moses or Morris, or maybe all of the above? Family names are equally confusing. Steinberg or Shteynbarg, Bloom or Blume, Vaynraykh or Weinreich. Then there are the historic names, with no family name to be seen, and subsequent questions about where they are filed.

Thus, authors may be listed differently than you might expect. Sholem Aleichem is filed under "S" and Der Nister under "D". Abraham ben Meir Ibn Ezra is filed under "Ibn" but Dunash ben Labrat is filed under "Dunash," (following the practice of the Library of Congress) and therefore that is how they appear in this list. As often as possible, I've included alternate spellings, birth names and pen names with entries to help with identification. Luckily, this list is searchable via most browsers: if you do not find someone where you think he or she should appear, try using your browser's search function. Please be patient and flexible, but do let me know if I got something wrong. Thanks. -- Lee
