3 AUTHORS EXPLORE INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE LINKS OF JUDAISM
2000
Overview
In \"Half-Jew,\" Jacoby, an author and former Washington Post reporter, explores the \"specialness and ambiguity\"of the half-Jewish condition. \"America has allowed Jews unprecedented freedom to be simultaneously outsiders and insiders,\" she explains. \"[T]o be an American half-Jew is to experience this condition twice over.\" In eloquent and illuminating prose, she writes about a family that converted for social advantage and the residual effects of this choice on subsequent generations. This is ground well-trampled in recent memoirs, from Mary Gordon's \"The Shadow Man\" to Stephen Dubner's \"Turbulent Souls.\" But \"Half-Jew\" is distinctive for Jacoby's loving relationship with a father who is at once sympathetic and complicated, and her earnest attempts to understand him.
