Janna Malamud Smith On the twentieth anniversary of Bernard Malamud’s death, Janna Malamud Smith explores her father’s private, unpublished letters and journals to remember the life of a seminal writer of our time. Malamud left New York and his immigrant father’s failing grocery store, and his mother’s madness, for a humble position at an Oregon agricultural college. Smith remembers his demanding, ambitious writing schedule and his marriage’s fragile balance, but also his charm, humor, and devotion.
