This essay explores the literary avatars of the signifier “Jewish”. Shakespeare, Lessing and Joyce concerned themselves with the enigma of the “carnal Jew”; a singular Judeo-Christian front formed in 1943 in defense of the Ten Commandments; and from Kafka to Perec, writers experimented with new ways of “Judaizing.”
