Every Friday My Machberet presents an array of Jewish-interest links, primarily of the literary variety.

  • Fab photos from Monday evening’s Scribblers on the Roof reading at Ansche Chesed in New York. (I was lucky to be in attendance.)
  • This collection of poets’ reflections on memorable summer-reading experiences includes some especially “Jewish” recollections.
  • Over on NewYorker.com, Arthur Krystal chronicles a story of “[F. Scott] Fitzgerald and the Jews.”
  • The Fig Tree Books blogs celebrates a “Malamud-apalooza” of sorts, with three writers revisiting novels by Bernard Malamud.
  • May the memory of E.L. Doctorow be a blessing.
  • Shabbat shalom, everyone.
