It's not, I think Jews are great.

Are there any good modern works of fiction that deal with the Jewish experience?

>>8784748

I think jewesses are pretty great.

They also invented a religious framework that's enslaved most of the world. They turned Europeans from masters to slaves.

Herzog, by Saul Bellow.

Russian Jew in Chicago and New York post WW2, struggling for meaning while being chained to his past as an immigrant in a new land, while further still being stressed by his status as a father, a lover, a husband, and a man.

Much better than my description could prove. I read it this year and loved it

>>8784710
For fiction you could try Sholem Aleichem's stuff. I took a Jewish Lit class my senior year of college for the sole purpose of find a THIQ Jewess to bang, and we read "Tevye the Dairyman"--the basis for Fiddler on the Roof, and I thought it was burdy gud. Even discovered the paper I wrote about it on my computer the other month and it didn't make me cringe so I must have been into it.

Also try Philip Roth.

>no mention of Yehuda Amichai

Yeah, she wasn't super pretty but she checked the right boxes. Big nose, DSLs, dat ass. Freshman so she was the easiest.

Do you mean books written by jews or books about jews and judaism?

>>8788988
Dude, of course he means by Jews. So save all your edgelord /pol/ shit.

>>8784710
The Tanakh and the Talmud. Possibly the Zohar as well.

>>8788950
I own a copy of his works, but I wasn't very into it. I'll probably give it another try though. Sometimes I'm too judgemental on my first exposure to things.

Sasuga, /lit/

>>8788994
how is asking this any indication of being a /pol/ack? ive been jewish my whole life and wanted clarification before i answered. There are tons of books about the history of judaism like the Tanakh and then jewish authors like Allen Ginsberg and Saul Bellows, not to mention the probably largely fictionalized stories of holocaust "surrvivors" like Eli Wiesel and Anne Frank

>>8789018
also any text about the Kabbalah is very interesting from a historical aspect of mystical monotheosm even though there is no Rabbi i know of that openly teaches this form of the Tanakh and Talmud.

Wikipedia has a pretty decent selection of beginner Kabbalic texts if you look up the primary texts section

>Holocaust "survivors"
>not a /pol/ack

Wew.

>>8789098
Eli Weisel might have survived the holocaust, but most of what he wrote has been simply not true. I think he's the one who said that Night was "real to me" after admitting it didnt happen the same way in the novel.

>>8789113
I will admit that i used the quotes around survivor wrong, but it doesn't change the fact Eli Weisel made up his book and has in turn put a lot of holocaust survivor books legitimacy into questiob

Anne Frank's diary desu

>>8789441
Anne Franks diary is a pathetic cash in by her fatherl. I don't understand why so many people suffered through the holocaust with interesting stories and then we have fraudsters telling stories of how jews were made into soap bars and lamp shades. Its like these guys wants people to believe that the holocaust never happened when fringe jews make up the most wild and categorically false information.

>>8789520
>jews were made into soap bars and lamp shades.

Is that really in the Diary of Anne Frank? I've never read I just know it was banned because she talks about her labia and shit.

Philip Roth's entire oeuvre

Probably Saul Bellow as well, but I read The Actual and it actually did nothing for me.

>>8784911
It's this and Bruno Schulz tbqfh

>>8789526
not in her diary no, but several jewish holocaust survivors said that happened in the death camps. when they were shown evidence that this didnt happen at all, they recanted

>how jews were made into soap
That happened but it was the Croatian Ustase and mostly Serbs that got turned into soap. So not catehorically false.

It upsets me to see people who claim stuff like this as a general holocaust crime then go on to say "and see how many people died in concetration camps around Serbia" to imply Serbs were Nazis or something.

>>8790619
>Croatian Ustase and mostly Serbs that got turned into soap.
I mean the Ustase turned Serbs into soap.

It really helps you out figuring the sore relations of jews and europeans in the beginning of the 20th century and wonder how one mans stupidity could be used so extensively as a medium in the annihilation of his race

The Talmud is very good as long as you have a Rabbi to guide you through it so that you might not misunderstand some things ;^).
