What makes a great Jewish book? In fact, what makes a book "Jewish" in the first place? Ruth R.

From Isaac Babel to Isaac Bashevis Singer, Elie Wiesel to Cynthia Ozick, Wisse's "The Modern Jewish Canon" is a book that every student of Jewish literature, and every reader of great fiction, should enjoy.
