NATHAN ENGLANDER
IN BLACK AND WHITE by DAVID HOLZEL
THE AUTHOR OF THIS YEAR'S MOST TALKED ABOUT JEWISH BOOK FOR THE RELIEF OF UNBEARABLE URGES IS CERTAINLY HAIR TODAY. BUT WHAT ABOUT TOMORROW?
Let's clear a few things about Nathan Englander out of the way. Yes he's only 29. Then there's the reported $350,000 advance he received from Alfred A. Knopf publishers for his first book, For The Relief of Unbearable Urges, Having said all that leaves us with Englander himself, and his fiction, particularly the nine short stories contained in For the Relief of Unbearable Urges.

Nathan Englander page 2 page 1 The Jewish Angle
Englander is talking about himself, too. Lots of teenagers feel stifled by their schools, by second-rate pedagogues. They're inflamed by the hypocrisy, the equivocation they perceive among so-called role models. Some sweat it out. Others incorporate it into their life's work. Nathan Englander the yeshiva student thought Orthodoxy was about rigor and consistency and seeking truth. "I had basic theological questions," he says. "None of the men in charge of my religious education were equipped to deal with them." I started writing because it was the one thing that I had the tools for. If we had a decent blowtorch at home, I might be a welder or an industrial sculptor or a pyromaniac.
He became known as the class troublemaker and left Orthodox Judaism "emotionally," he says. His "intellectual journey" to secularism, though, took many years.
"I was naive. I was the believing child," he says. "I think that's the reason that I probably got knocked out. Taking it so seriously. There was no leeway with me. I was an absolutist. I think that some people knew that life was more gray, or more varied. I didn't understand that whole part about bending [the rules]. And in a classroom setting where people aren't equipped to deal with [questions], these issues get seen somehow as rebellion."

23. Boekenbal: Englander, Nathan: ‘Verlost Van Vleselijke Verlangens’
englander, nathan ‘Verlost van vleselijke verlangens’, nathan englander « Je wordt als schrijver beter overhyped dan under-hyped.
http://www.humo.be/old/boekendoek/boekenbal/1999/36/
Englander, Nathan: ‘Verlost van vleselijke verlangens’
'Verlost van vleselijke verlangens' (Vassallucci), de zeer te smaken verhalenbundel van de achtentwintigjarige joodse debutant Nathan Englander , werd voor maar liefst 350.000 dollar aan de Amerikaanse uitgeverij Knopf verkocht. Je zou van minder egostoornissen krijgen, en bij zijn verschijning werd Englanders debuut ook nog eens door de gezamenlijke Amerikaanse pers op het gênante af met loftuitingen overladen en vergeleken met het werk van literaire goden als Gogol Beckett Ionesco Roth Malamud Salinger en Singer
fifteen minutes of fame gehad hebt?

over-hyped dan under-hyped. Bovendien heb ik door al die aandacht het gevoel dat de bal echt aan het rollen is gegaan, waardoor ik me een stuk zekerder voel. Zolang als ik me kan herinneren ben ik aan een roman bezig - daar werk ik nu gewoon zelfverzekerd en geconcentreerd aan verder.»
louter een 'joods' schrijver. Oké, het boek gaat onmiskenbaar over joden en er zitten veel joodse thema's in, maar wat dan nog? 'Verlost van vleselijke verlangens' is geen specifiek joods boek, maar veeleer een boek over identiteit, of over mensen die grenzen verleggen. Ik beschrijf gewoon situaties die in de wereld van vandaag voorkomen.»

Campus Center 375 Nathan Englander is the author of For the Relief of Unbearable Urges (1999), a debut collection of nine short stories heralded by many writers and critics as one of the most satisfying and original volumes of short fiction to have emerged in some time. The stories are powerfully inventive and often haunting, steeped in the weight of Jewish history and in the customs of Orthodox life. What makes these stories remarkable is the largeness of their spirita spirit that finds in doubt a doorway to faith, and in despair a chance for the heart to deepen. For the Relief of Unbearable Urges , but there is something much more as well, a quality of wisdom that would seem to transcend the author's twenty-seven years. As Michiko Kakutani writes in the New York Times , "Englander's voice is. . .keenly attuned to both the absurdities of life and its undertow of sadness and disappointment. Ann Beattie , have emphasized Englander's originality, "Every so often there's a new voice that entirely revitalizes the short story. It happened with Richard Ford, and with Denis Johnson, and with Thom Jones. It's happening again with Nathan Englander, whose precise, funny, heartbreaking, well-controlled but never contrived stories open a window on a fascinating landscape we might never have known was there. It's the best story collection I've read in ages."

The Sunday Gazette
03/26/00, G-01 By KATY MOELLER Staff Writer AUTHOR HAILED AS A FRESH VOICE ALBANY The first editor to accept one of Nathan Englander's short stories for publication described his style as "Isaac Bashevis Singer on crack." Today, four years after his first story was published, literary critics across the country are comparing Englander, a 30-year-old Long Island native who lives in Jerusalem, to renowned Jewish writers Bernard Malamud, Saul Bellow and Philip Roth. They're also praising the young author's fresh, new voice. "Mr. Englander's voice is distinctively his own daring, funny, exuberant, keenly attuned to both the absurdities of life and its undertow of sadness and disappointment," wrote Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times in a glowing review of Englander's debut collection of stories "For the Relief of Unbearable Urges." Overnight sensation Englander became something of an overnight sensation in the publishing world when his nine-story collection came out last year partly because his publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, paid a remarkable $350,000 advance for the book and planned an initial printing of 30,000 copies. The book, which made many "Best Books of 1999" lists and became a bestseller, is in its 12th printing (80,000 books total). It has just been released in paperback.

From the Book Jacket:
Already sold in eight countries around the world, these nine energized, irreverent stories from Nathan Englander introduce an astonishing new talent.
In Englander's amazingly taut and ambitious "The Twenty-seventh Man," a clerical error lands earnest, unpublished Pinchas Pelovits in prison with twenty-six writers slated for execution at Stalin's command, and in the grip of torture Pinchas composes a mini-masterpiece, which he recites in one glorious moment before author and audience are simultaneously annihilated. In "The Gilgul of Park Avenue," a Protestant has a religious awakening in the back of a New York taxi. In the collection's hilarious title story, a Hasidic man incensed by his wife's interminable menstrual cycle gets a dispensation from his rabbi to see a prostitute.
The stories in For the Relief of Unbearable Urges are powerfully inventive and often haunting, steeped in the weight of Jewish history and in the customs of Orthodox life. But it is in the largeness of their spirit a spirit that finds in doubt a doorway to faith, that sees in despair a chance for the heart to deepenand in the wisdom that so prodigiously transcends the author's twenty-eight years, that these stories are truly remarkable. Nathan Englander envisions a group of Polish Jews herded toward a train bound for Auschwitz and in a deft imaginative twist turns them into acrobats tumbling out of harm's way; he takes an elderly wigmaker and makes her, for a single moment, beautiful. Again and again, Englander does what feels impossible: he finds, wherever he looks, a province beyond death's dominion.

  • Nathan Englander "For the Relief of Unbearable Urges" At the age of twenty-nine, Nathan Englander has been compared to such literary masters as Isaac Bashevis Singer, Phillip Roth, Bernard Malamud, and John Cheever. He is a graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop and a recipient of the Pushcart Prize. His works have appeared in Story magazine and The New Yorker. Englander grew up in New York and lives in Jerusalem. For the Relief of Unbearable Urges, his debut collection of nine stories, received widespread acclaim and immediately established Englander as a "substantial talent in short ficton" (Salon). In this book, Englander explores Hasidic and Orthodox life - from Aushwitz to present-day Brooklyn - but also focuses on the universal themes of tradition, community, and displacement. The New York Times called the collection "a volume of polished gems."
