Eric Goldman, adjunct professor of cinema at Yeshiva University and on the faculty of Fairleigh Dickinson University, will explore the seven Roth novels that have been adapted to film. Using film clips from Goodbye, Columbus, Portnoy's Complaint, The Human Stain, Indignation, and The Plot Against America, Goldman will explore the autobiographical nature of Roth's works--a Jewish man growing up in post-depression New Jersey.


Sponsored by EBIJFF in partnership with CCJCC and Cong. B'nai Shalom.
