Opening night at the 19th annual
Jewish Book Fair, 8:15 p.m. Nov. 7

an anthology of selections from
Angoff
Levin
major novels of 22 Jewish authors,
published in April. The authors will
speak on "The American Jewish
Literary Scene."
Angoff, a faculty member of the
Bnai Brith Institutes, is a professor
of English at Fairleigh Dickinson
University and editor of the Liter-
ary Review.
He is author and editor of about
40 books, has had two plays pro-
duced and has contributed poems,
stories, essays, one-act plays and
reviews to some 100 magazines and
newspapers at home and abroad.
During the past 20 years, he has
turned to writing fiction and has
had three collections of his short
stories published. Twenty years ago
he began writing the saga of the
Polonsky Family, beginning with
"Journey to the Dawn" and com-
pleting his eight-volume "Winter
Twilight" early in 1970.
Levin started his career as a
reporter on the Chicago Daily,
became a feature columnist and
then the editor of Esquire.
During World War II. he was a
correspondent for the Overseas
News Agency and Jewish Telegra;
phic Agency. He described the fate
of the Jew in his autobiography
"In Search," and has focused his
writing almost solely on Jewish
themes.
He lived in Kibutz Yagur, and
his dedication to Israel is apparent
in-novels such as "My Father's
House" and "The Illegals." Other
books he has written include "The
Golden Mountain," "The Old
Bunch," "If I Forget Thee," and
"Compulsion."
The following Sunday morning at
10, Angoff and Levin will return to
speak to Sunday school youngsters.
