OF A GOLDEN AGE

american jewish literature and transcendentalism have suddenly short-circuited:

“In stark contrast to Lucy’s brother, Thomas lives a chaste, nearly Thoreauvian, existence in a small, sparsely appointed cabin on the Eden’s property. Bookshelves line the cabin walls, complementing his suitably monastic bed fitted with taut white sheets.”

(from “Revisiting Literary Blacks and Jews” by Andrew Furman.)
