Being himself from the Jewish immigrant society, Malamud presents his character as a sufferer Jew, taking the burden of whole Jewishness. His characters always try to preserve their Jewishness and establish harmonious relationship with other people but get disastrous result in return. So, use of these experience of the Jews and their suffering not only helps highlight the Jewishness in Malamud’s short fiction but also helps capture the specificity of Jewishness by delineating the pain and trauma of Jews with remarkable degree of analytical stance.
