Book Reviews of The Oxford Book of Jewish Stories

Book Review: One of the best anthologies I've ever come across
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a book to cherish. I've given many copies to friends. It is one of the best anthologies, if not the best, I've ever come across. Stavans' introduction and chronology guide the reader intelligently through history and literature. A triumph!
