Amy Chozick wrote in CHASING HILLARY that when campaign news broke on Rosh Hashanah, "I had to scramble to find the Times editors on 'goy duty.'"
I read Portnoy's Complaint. Was expecting high literature. Got instead masturbation and shiksa banging justifications.
And Tom. This hurts. People do not give "Mau Mau the Flack" credit. "Radical Chic" are you kidding. I get sad. Bring it up at a party, no one knows. I am not that old.
Yeah, except I barely knew who Philip Roth was - I initially thought they meant film producer JOE Roth.
The point of course being the insularity of New York Jews. I'd argue Norman Lear and Joe Roth actually have had more impact on more Americans.
"Roth’s three favorite topics — Jews, women and New Jersey — all remain socially acceptable targets of irrational public mockery..."
"Portnoy's Complaint" should've put an end to any future Jewish involvement in writing, editing, and publishing.
Does anyone under age of 50 know who Philip Roth Is? Outside of English majors.
The shock.
Jews seem more positive about Linda Sarsour who's definitely less good for the Jews.
"Harvard was where I learned Yiddish."
the one thing i never see is someone asking: is it good for the Jews to ask 'is X good for the Jews?' too much?
Well he certainly was. He was undeniably funny and intelligent. That reinforces positive stereotypes. As with Trump any alleged negatives are discounted in the personality stock price. Unsurprising. Part of the package.
And at the website you write for everyone debates if everything (eg Jesuits, Vietnam War) was good for the Jews.
