Jewish Writer »

Jewish writing has played an indispensable role in the witnessing, chronicling, and shaping of this century. Now photojournalist Jill Krementz presents an inquiry into the soul of the Jewish writer, profiling important contemporaries such as David Mamet and Cynthia Ozick, venerable voices including Isaac Bashevis Singer and Herman Wouk, and exciting new writers such as Allegra Goodman, and Tony Kushner. In the style of Krementz's much beloved book The Writer's Desk, each portrait is accompanied by insightful text, forming a vivid fusion of word and image.
