Bernard Malamud is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — American novelist ('The Fixer', 'The Natural')
Malamud was a major American novelist and short-story writer whose books—'The Natural', the National Book Award– and Pulitzer-winning 'The Fixer', and the collection 'The Magic Barrel'—fused Jewish moral seriousness with fable-like realism. He was born to Russian-Jewish immigrant parents in Brooklyn, and Jewish experience is central to his fiction. He also taught for many years at Oregon State University and Bennington College.
