Journal Article
“A harp in the hallway”: Edna O’Brien and Jewish-Irish Whiteness in Zuckerman Unbound
2016
Overview
According to Dyer, \"Two examples of people who have counted as white under particular historical circumstances are the Irish and the Jews\" (52). [...]the propagation of the American Dream myth can be a way of avoiding discussion of the systemic barriers to economic development for African Americans. [...]Zuckerman, trying to come to terms with his new fame, thinks to himself, \"You are not Paul Newman, but you're no longer who you used to be either\" (137), reminding the reader of Newman's role as Ari Ben Canaan in the 1960 film version of Exodus. [...]there is Alvin's television appellation the \"Jewish marine\" which chimes with Uris's own past and the image of the pugnacious Jew he wished to promote.
