Title: The Short Stories of Bernard Malamud
Description: The Short Stories of Bernard Malamud is a study of how Malamud's anthology attempts to re-capture the poetic subject's identity, behind whose mask the author lies. Dr. Sio-Castineira's study demonstrates how Malamud seeks to capture an instance of identity by means of denouncing the isolation caused both by extreme Jewish orthodoxy and brutal assimilation, and proclaiming his faith in the potential contained in the individual mind as the only way to recuperate a sense of self.
