Books by Dan Miron

This book argues that both Franz Kafka's personality and his literary activity were perceived by himself as exemplifying the modern Jewish predicament of aspiring to modernity while being tied to a past-civilization, thus finding oneself struggling in a vacuum.

From Continuity to Contiguity breaks away from previous attempts attempts to define a common denominator that unifies the various modern Jewish literatures by acknowledging discontinuity as the staple characteristic of modern Jewish writing.

In an exposition of writer S.Y. Abramovitsh, this work shows the symbolic importance of his central character, Mendele the Bookseller, and explores the history of Yiddish fiction in Russia during the 19th century.
