Description

Leaving Other People Alone reads contemporary North American Jewish fiction about Israel/Palestine through an anti-Zionist, diasporic lens. Throughout the book, Aaron Kreuter develops his concept of diasporic heteroglossia, which is fiction’s unique ability to contain multiple, diasporic voices that resist and write back against national centres. In engaging prose, the book features a wide range of scholarship and new, compelling readings of texts by Theodor Herzl, Leon Uris, Philip Roth, Ayelet Tsabari, and David Bezmozgis. Arguing for a diaspora ethics over violent ethnic nationalism, this work makes an important and original contribution to Jewish studies, diaspora studies, and world literatures.
