Levin Charges He's Victim of 'Gray-Listing
Returning to Israel to start his
next book, Meyer Levin said he
had had to overcome peculiar dif-
ficulties in launching his novel,
"The Fanatic," on his tour of the
United States. Among these were
"planted" reviews, and "gray-list-
ing" by a number of radio and
television programs in the New
York area, he said.
Levin contends that he has long
been the target of whispering
campaigns, denigration and other
forms of literary assassination,
stemming from anti-Zionist circles.
"They never attack me directly
on political grounds. Instead they
run down my writing, just as they
might do if I were failing to ad-
here to the line in the Soviet
Union."
The campaign goes far back,
so that it may be seen as a
projection of the Soviet attack
on Jewish writers in the Stalin
era, and of the same attack on
Jewish culture and identifica-
tion, still in progress, he said.
"In a way, these people did to
me what McCarthy did to them,"
Levin contends.
He gives as an example, two
major radio programs on which he
has many times appeared in the
past. "This time they said they
couldn't use me. Could that be
because "The Fanatic" contains
an exposure of the whole subject
of culture control, projected right
onto Broadway? (Jewish News,
Feb. 14) . . .
"Even while the subject of the
Soviet attacks on Jewish identity
was in the headlines every day,
there seemed to be an amazing re-
luctance to discuss this as the main
concern of my novel," Levin said.
"My readers have had to find out
the real subject of the book
through word - of - mouth and
through the many sermons preach-
ed about "The Fanatic." While,
like every story teller, I want peo-
ple to be absorbed in the personal
lives of my protagonists . . . their
story is used to reveal the pro-
found battle of ideas of our times,
the battle of the right to identity."
This battle is the same, Levin
says, whether it takes place in
the Soviet Union, where Jewish
identity is removed under pres-
sure, or in the United States,
where other forms of assimila-
tion-drive take place, with a
more gradual effect.
"Anti-Zionism, the scare over
dual loyalty, is one such form.
Among certain groups of radical
intellectuals, my move to Israel is
felt as a kind of rebuke, or threat.
They take it out by running down
my work."
The reception of the book was
excellent in the U.S., on the whole,
he concluded. "In Chicago, Cleve-
land, and other cities where there
was no gray-listing, I appeared on
many programs and the book rose
to number two on the best-seller
list."
