The Object of Jewish Literature
From Yale University Press
With the rise of digital media, the “death of the book” has been widely discussed. But the physical object of the book persists. In my forthcoming book, through the lens of materiality and objects, I tell a history of modern Jewish literature, from novels and poetry to graphic novels and artists’ books.
