Academic Life as an Oxymoron: A Jewish American's Way out of Harvard in Michael Blumenthal's Weinstock among the Dying

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper analyzes Michael Blumenthal's only campus novel Weinstock among the Dying (1993) as an example of a combination of a campus and mid-life crisis novel, which reflects the middle class experience. The book is set at Harvard and focuses on Martin Weinstock, a thirty-eight-year-old lecturer of creative writing who finds the atmosphere at Harvard sterile and self-important, but he also becomes aware of his own personal problems. In particular, Weinstock has to reconcile with his extended family and accept his Jewish heritage in order to realize he must leave the university to find satisfaction in life. In turn, the novel combines biting satire of the prestigious educational institution with a complex psychological portrayal of the protagonist.
