Some excellent literary criticism

Among the essays included in this volume are: Hana Wirth-Nesher'sintroduction 'Defining the Indefinable: What is Jewish Literature?" Saul Bellow's "On Jewish Storytelling" Cynthia Ozick's " America: Toward Yavneh John Hollander's "The Question of American Jewish Poetry " Robert Alter's " Jewish Dreams and Nightmares" Baal -Mahkhshoves "One Literature in Two Languages" Baruch Kurzweil's "Notes on Hebrew Literature" Yonatan Ratosh's Israeli or Jewish Literature?" and a host of others. I am not sure that any one of them or all taken together answer the question the symposium is built around. But they do provide a good deal of insight into Literature.
