RICH Man, Poor Man
None
Irwin Shaw
A reconstruction of Shaw's life from his days as a young playwright and novelist up to his death in 1984. Despite a prevailing pedestrian tone and lapses into gossip column journals, a chilling and, at times, insightful portrait of the man and his social milieu emerges forcefully. Acidic paper.

Irwin Shaw
Pp. 44-68, "Protests against Fascism and Anti-Semitism, " summarize and discuss Shaw's short stories of the 1930s-40s on early American complacency about Nazism, Jews' need for revenge against their persecutors (Cossacks in 1918 and Nazis), the world's rejection of Jewish refugees, and the growing threat of antisemitism in America.
Short Stories
Featuring sixty-three stories spanning five decades, this superb collection-including "Girls in Their Summer Dresses," "Sailor Off the Bremen," and "The Eighty-Yard Run"-clearly illustrates why Shaw is considered one of America's finest short-story writers.
