Biography
|
Bernard Malamud (April 26, 1914 – March 18, 1986) was an American writer born in Brooklyn, New York.
Malamud is most renowned for his short stories, oblique allegories often set in a dreamlike urban ghetto of immigrant Jews. His prose, like his settings, is an artful pastiche of Yiddish-English locutions, punctuated by sudden lyricism. On Malamud's death, Philip Roth wrote: "A man of stern morality, [Malamud was driven by] a need to consider long and seriously every last demand of an overtaxed, overtaxing conscience torturously exacerbated by the pathos of human need unabated." His best-known novel, The Fixer, won the National Book Award in 1966, and also the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Malamud's novel The Natural was made into a movie starring Robert Redford.
