The 50 Most Essential Works of Jewish Fiction of the Last 100 Years

'From the Kafkaesque to "Everything is Illuminated" and a childhood favourite: the 50 works of fiction by or about Jews that you must check out.' (Jason Diamond, Jewcy)
'Our criteria for this list was any work that could be considered "Jewish fiction": written by a Jewish author or dealing heavily with Jewish topics and themes, all written in the last 100 years. Short story collections, plays, graphic novels and novellas were all taken into consideration.'
