The literary world continues to be at the vanguard of attempts to isolate and delegitimize Jewish voices except those that actively denounce Israel’s very existence.
On Sally Rooney’s shunning list I see writers I’ve been in residency with, writers I’ve studied with, and editors whose litmags I’ve subscribed to. I no longer feel safe around any of them. So disappointing.
The list of angry scribblers is long and obscure. Many Arab names who sign for self preservation, and a handful of Jewish names who think they’ll be spared when the Intifada is localized. Signer Katia Anathema sounds right to my ears.
The opposing letter had known and respected names.
Not to hurt feelings, but artists err when they diverge from their area of expertise. The long list needs to stick to writing, and amuse their handful of readers.
