Über den Autor
Meyer Levin (1905-1981) was called by the Los Angeles Times the most significant American Jewish writer of his times. Norman Mailer referred to him as one of the best American writers working in the realistic tradition. Throughout his 60 years of professional work, Levin was a constant innovator, reinventing himself and stretching his literary style with remarkable versatility. When he died, he left behind an extraordinary, diverse body of work that not only reflected the incredible life he led, but chronicled the development of Jewish history and culture in the 20th century.
