• W1520483586 abstract "Cynthia Ozick established the prevailing critical context for interpreting her fiction when she rather controversially claimed that no fiction produced by Jews in the Diaspora has had lasting value except that which is centrally Jewish (Art, 155). As her readers have consistently attested, Ozick's characters share an abiding concern with their status as Jews. 1 For Ozick, though, there can be no fiction that is centrally Jewish that is not also somehow a reflection on the Jew's covenant with the one true Creator. As Suzanne Klingenstein observes, the nature of the creative drive, condemned in Genesis as yetzer ha-ra (Gen. 6:5, 8:21), is the fundamental issue confronted by her fiction (52). 2 Characters such as Isaac Kornfeld of The Pagan Rabbi or the narrator of Usurpation find themselves almost literally torn between their desire to create and the injunction not to be idolaters. Ozick's work, therefore, is concerned not only with what it means to be a Jew but with what both the fact and idea of creation mean to the Jew who would also write imaginative literature. So pointed has been Ozick's critical writing on this issue that her readers have been tempted to think that Ozick writes fiction in order to write theology, when actually it is probably more accurate to say that she writes theology in order to create more vibrant fictions. As Ozick's most perceptive critic, Elaine Kauvar, counsels, even if for Ozick imaginative art never can be equated with what is deliberately Jewish, then it is also true that she has always treated her tradition as a threshold rather than a terminus (An Interview, 361). 3 In the critical context Ozick provides for her work, exploring the possibilities of creation endows her fiction with the presumption of possibly achieving the sacred. 4 While Ozick is not actually a blasphemous or idolatrous writer even by her own strict definition, her fiction would lack its imposing power did it not risk this possibility. 5 Ozick's interest in idolatry reflects her ambition to realize in her fiction culturally and aesthetically appropriate forms in which to express her creative desire. 6" @default.
