The Wicked Son: Anti-Semitism, Self-Hatred and the Jews
book review by Tom TeicholzDavid Mamet has written a book, "The Wicked Son: Anti-Semitism, Self-Hatred and the Jews" (Shocken/Nextbook), that is by turns bold, courageous, and outrageous -- it is a book that calls Diaspora Jews to the table and asks: "In or Out?" . . . Mamet is the playwright who wrote "Glengarry Glen Ross" (for which he won the Pulitzer Prize), . . . . He is currently the co-creator and executive producer of "The Unit," a one-hour dramatic series that airs on CBS on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. When I spoke with Mamet recently, he explained that he has been pondering the idea of Jewish passivity for 15 years or so . . . . In "The Wicked Son," Mamet identifies the many contemporary forms of anti-Semitism, unmasks those who support it or who, passively, refuse to stand up against it. Posted by: Mike 2006-11-16 |
