Description
The works of Philip Roth and Woody Allen have evoked admiration, controversy, and condemnation for the intimate, scathing, and often comical caricatures of being Jewish in post-World War II America.

“Jewishness” is broadly defined here, and may include (among other things): identity, religious practices, family life, relations with non-Jews, antisemitism, self-hatred, gender,and sexuality.
You do not need to discuss all of these aspects. These are just some ideas. Your essays should be approximately 3-4 pages long, Times New Roman 12 pointfont, 1 inch margins, and double-spaced. Your essaysmust contain an argument, an introduction, and a conclusion. Citations should adhere to Chicago style or MLA.
