Review
"A reflective memoir rich in compelling commentary on twentieth-century politics, literature, and Jewishness." - Booklist "[A] well-wrought memoir... lively and accessible." - Publishers Weekly
Synopsis
A memoir and an examination of the nature of Jewish identity in an increasingly secular world, CONFESSIONS OF A SECULAR JEW is an account of the pain of a heritage lost, not only in the religious sense, but in the sense of history, culture and humour. Acclaimed academic and literary thinker Eugene Goodheart, whose friends and colleagues have included Lionel Trilling, Saul Bellow and Hannah Arendt, addresses the issue in terms of his own relationship to Judaisim, raising questions about politics, anti-Semitism, Jewish guilt, dogma, piety and humanism. A wrestling match with the questions of faith and cultural identity, this book questions and celebrates the future of world Jewish culture.
