Job the Silent: A Study in Historical CounterpointOxford University Press, 1991 - 294 strán (strany) In this strikingly original study, Zuckerman compares The Book of Job and its fate to that of the famous Yiddish short story, "Bontsye Shvayg," a covert parody whose protagonist has come to be revered as a paradigm of innocent Jewish suffering. He illustrates how a literary text becomes separated from the intention of its author, and takes on a different meaning for a specific community of readers.
