Here lies a plain and simple Jew who wrote in plain and simple prose.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Today, for a Jew who writes in the German language, it is totally impossible to make a living. In no group do I see as much misery, disappointment, desperation and hopelessness as in Jewish writers who write in German.
I can't imagine writing something that didn't address Jewish themes and questions. It's such a big part of my life, a lot of the way in which I experience the world.
For a Christian, Jesus is the unique and only way that God has fully revealed himself. For a Jew this cannot be.
All a Jew has to do is recite a few proverbs or anecdotes to consider himself an expert on 'Jewishness.'
I come from a family of Russian immigrant Jews who were all big storytellers, who would get together, and one would try to top the others' stories, and stories would get bigger and bigger. And the lying aspect, the exaggeration, would get large.
I find it very hard to write about Jewish history.
Something fundamental about the myth of the Jew has resurfaced.
My favorite writers are all Jews - David, Solomon, Matthew, Mark - well, you get the picture.
The Jew always lives from the blood of other peoples, he needs such murders and such sacrifices.
No Jew was ever fool enough to turn Christian unless he was a clever man.
