Book Fair Opening Will Feature WritersMeyerLevin-CharlesAngoft Opening night at the 19th annual Jewish Book Fair, 8:15 p.m. Nov. 7 at the Jewish Center, will feature two American literary figures — Charles Angoff and Meyer Levin. Together they edited "The Rise of American Jewish Literature," 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. For information, call the Jewish Center, 341-4200, ext. 292. 0 0.
