| Title |
A.M. Klein et Karl Stern : le scandale de la conversion
|
| Abstract |
The author notes that Montreal poet and author A. M. Klein’s allegorical novel, The Second Scroll, contains a surprising episode describing the “near-conversion” of its protagonist to Catholicism. The author asks: Why did Klein choose to explore the theme of apostasy, a subject rarely treated in Jewish literature? In what ways does conversion emerge as a theme in postwar relations between Jews and French Canadians? These questions are explored by the author in relation to another conversion narrative, Karl Stern’s Pillar of Fire which was published in 1951, the same year as The Second Scroll.
