SUMMARY:The Literary Mafia: Jews\, Publishing\, and Postwar American Litera
 ture (In-person and Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:(MultiAccess: In-person and Zoom)\nWith author\, Professor and 
 TBZ member Josh Lambert\n\nIn the 1960s and 1970s\, complaints about a “
 Jewish literary mafia” were everywhere. Although a conspiracy of Jews co
 lluding to control publishing in the United States never actually existed\
 , such accusations reflected a genuine transformation from an industry not
 orious for excluding Jews to one in which they arguably had become the mos
 t influential figures.\n\nJosh Lambert examines the dynamics between Jewis
 h editors and Jewish writers\; how Jewish women exposed the misogyny they 
 faced from publishers\; and how children of literary parents have struggle
 d with and benefited from their inheritances. Drawing on interviews and te
 ns of thousands of pages of letters and manuscripts\, The Literary Mafia o
 ffers striking new discoveries about celebrated figures such as Lionel Tri
 lling and Gordon Lish\, and neglected fiction by writers including Ivan Go
 ld\, Ann Birstein\, and Trudy Gertler.\n\nZoom link here.\n\nMeeting ID: 8
