To generations of Jews, America has been not just a place to live, but also a powerful symbol. To different Jews, the country has represented promise, opportunity, refuge, oppression, or confusion. In this course, we will read novels, poems, short stories, and comics to explore the ways Jewish writers have envisioned the United States, paying attention to the ways that the country and its Jewish population have been transformed by real and imagined encounters. Readings will include works composed in English, Yiddish, German, and Hebrew (all of which will be made available to students in English translation), by writers such as Nathan Mayer, Mary Antin, Franz Kafka, I.J. Schwartz, Allen Ginsberg, Reuben Wallenrod, Grace Paley, Philip Roth, Tony Kushner, Ben Katchor, and Lara Vapnyar. 1.00 units, Lecture
