Volume : I, Issue : IV, May - 2011 The Theme of Suffering in the Fiction of Bernard Malamud Ashalata Raman Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Bernard Malumud is one of the most important Jewish-American authors of
Post world war II. His writings have a Universal appeal. He presents the suffering
of the Jew, whether he is European, American, or Israeli. His themes take on the
overtones of the Universal suffering of all mankind, both Jew and Gentile. Bernard
Malamud uses his knowledge of Jewishness to express larger universal truths and
values through his Unity of "realism and allegory". Malamud's recurrent theme in
his short stories, based on his belief that life is a tragedy full of joy, highlights the
Jews as a symbol for suffering mankind. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Ashalata Raman, (2011). The Theme of Suffering in the Fiction of Bernard Malamud.
