An Arthur A. Cohen Reader: Selected Fiction and Writings on Judaism, Theology, Literature, and Culture - Softcover
Theologian, novelist, art and literary critic, Arthur A. Cohen (1928-1986) wrote prodigiously and on an enormous range of topics, developing a singular literary presence that imbued all his writing with a distinctive theological sensibility. An Arthur A. Cohen Reader presents Cohen's writings on constructive theology, including the famous essay "Why I Choose to be a Jew"; historical studies of Jewish philosophers Martin Buber and Franz Rosenzweig, post-Holocaust theology, including the original essay that was the basis for his landmark work The Tremendum; literary and art criticism, including brilliant studies of Kafka, Unamuno, Kleist, Sonia Delaunay, and theological analysis of Dada typography; essays on the Jewish imagination and literary tradition; and finally, selections from his fiction, including the short story "The Last Jew on Earth" and the complete novella "Malenov's Revenge."
