The Fatal Subject
Kaun, Alexander | May 22, 1929 issue

The article focuses on the book "Russian Literature and the Jew," by Joshua Kunitz. With a formidable array of illustrations Mr. Kunitz sets out to prove his thesis: the Jew has not received adequate treatment at the hands of Russian writers. The Jew has been an enigma for the Gentile, an unfathomable alien. The results have not been invariably happy, but in any event these men have managed to model flesh and blood individuals. Mr. Kunitz's admirable study makes one wonder at the fatal effect which the Jew as a subject matter has had on literary talent.
