Can you kindly comment on it. Is it reasonable to assess writers on basis of their "ethnic background"? Mr. Bernard Melamud was a jewish American writer. The novel also dealt with Jewish life style and ethics. The protagonist of the novel "Frank" finally becomes a jew. It appears that the author also laid excess emphasis on Jewish beliefs.
