概要

Malamud clung to the prison-motif throughout his life, especially in his earlier days as writer. In The Assistant the motif reached completion. But many scholars have criticized Malamud's way of dealing with the motif. They point out that Malamud handles with the motif too abstractly in connection to its Jewishness. This abstraction seems to result from Malamud's non-Jewish domestic environment in his child/boyhood. Usually he is considered as a writer with distinctive Jewish traits; in addition, he wrote many stories with an apparently Jewish atmosphere. In fact, however, he grew without a deep Jewish influence. This paper focuses on that contradiction and makes clear the reason why Malamud's prison-motif is so abstract.
