3.0 out of 5 stars
Good on history, weak on the arts,

This review is from: The Schocken Guide to Jewish Books: Where to Start Reading about Jewish Hist.ory, Literature, Culture, and Religion (Paperback)
The historical overview chapters are of interest as an annotated bibliographic guide to finding specific texts on dimensions of Jewish history and theology. The book ends in a real klinker: The final chapter, on Jewish American Literature, is turgid, judgmental, and pretty useless to consult for new finds. Instead of guiding readers, the literary guide codifies the importance of Bellow, Malamud, and Roth, while attacking some of the best books of both Bellow and Roth.

Helpful, informative book on Jewish books. Great for librarians or anyone interested in what-to-read about Judaism.
