Who were the great modern Jewish writers? Russians like Isaac Babel and Vasily Grossman, central Europeans like Kafka, English playwrights like Pinter and American Jews like Bellow and Arthur Miller. All Jews and yet they could hardly have been more different. Some are household names, others not as familiar as they should be. Some wrote about Jewish history - Stalinism, the Holocaust, anti-Semitism in America - others created their own distinctive world.
