Mid-Century: An Anthology of Jewish Life and Culture in Our Times

Plot

This volume is offered as evidence that the past decade (mide 1900s) has seen the publication of some of the most intersting authoritative and provocative American Jewish writing of the century. There are representative writing all non-fiction my the current most notable names which transcend dates on which they were originally published because of the timelessness of the material and the manner in which it is approached. Like so many jews beefore them and it is hope those who come after them, these writers have addressed themselve to the whole Jewish peopl an not a particular Jewish element at a particular time.
