    Abstract: "The renowned biographer's definitive portrait of a literary titan. Appointed by Philip Roth and granted independence and complete access, Blake Bailey spent years poring over Roth's personal archive, interviewing his friends, lovers, and colleagues, and engaging Roth himself in breathtakingly candid conversations. The result is an indelible portrait of an American master and of the postwar literary scene. Bailey shows how Roth emerged from a lower-middle-class Jewish milieu to achieve the heights of literary fame, how his career was nearly derailed by his catastrophic first marriage, and how he championed the work of dissident novelists behind the Iron Curtain. Bailey examines Roth's rivalrous friendships with Saul Bellow, John Updike, and William Styron, and reveals the truths of his florid love life, culminating in his almost-twenty-year relationship with actress Claire Bloom, who pilloried Roth in her 1996 memoir, Leaving a Doll's House. Tracing Roth's path from realism to farce to metafiction to the tragic masterpieces of the American Trilogy, Bailey explores Roth's engagement with nearly every aspect of postwar American culture"--

    Abstract: Stephen Tree, der als Regisseur, Dramaturg und Übersetzer in Berlin lebt, widmet sich in seinem gut lesbaren Buch der Biografie des berühmten Schriftstellers und Nobelpreisträgers, dessen 100. Geburtstag in diesem Jahr begangen wird. Dabei geht es Tree nicht so sehr um eine Analyse des umfangreichen, in jiddischer Sprache verfassten Werks, sondern um den Lebensweg Singers: Aufgewachsen in einer armen orthodoxen Rabbinerfamilie in Polen, folgt der junge Mann dem Vorbild seines Bruders und wird Schriftsteller. Auch wenn er die typische Kleidung der orthodoxen Juden ablegt und die Schläfenlocken abschneidet, so bleibt sein Schaffen doch sein ganzes Leben lang dem osteuropäischen Judentum und dessen Sprache, dem Jiddischen, verbunden. Mitte der 30er-Jahre emigriert er nach New York, wo er für eine jiddische Zeitung arbeitet und ein anerkannter Schriftsteller wird. Tree zeichnet ein eingängiges Porträt Singers, das auch Einblicke in das Privatleben gibt. Eine gute Ergänzung zu den zahlreichen in deutsch erschienenen Titeln des Autors (zuletzt BA 7/04). (2)

    Abstract: "In 1992, Art Spiegelman's two-volume illustrated novel Maus: A Survivor's Tale was awarded a special-category Pulitzer Prize. In it, Spiegelman tells the gripping story of his father's experiences in the Holocaust. The book portrays the trials Spiegelman's father endured as a Jewish refugee in the ghettos and concentration camps of Poland during World War II, his difficulties assimilating to American life following his immigration to New York, and the author's own troubled sense of self as he grapples with his father's history." "Ten scholars explore many aspects of the pivotal work, including Spiegelman's use of animal characters, the influence of other "comix" artists, the role of the mother and its relation to gender issues, the use of repeating images such as smoke and blood, Maus's place among Holocaust testimonials, its appropriation of cinematic technique, its use of language and styles of dialect, and the implications of the work's critical and commercial success."--BOOK JACKET.
