THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, May 1, 1964 18 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." Shippan N., Stamford, Conn.
