  Metroactive Books | Samuel Ornitz
Born in 1890, Ornitz is a link between Yiddish-speaking, foreign-born American novelists such as Anzia Yezierska and Abraham Cahan, who were mainstream stylists, and the daring Jewish fiction writers of the 1930s: Daniel Fuchs, Nathanael West and Henry Roth.
Ornitz belonged to a forgotten avant-garde movement that employed stream-of-consciousness techniques before the 1922 publication of James Joyce's Ulysses brought the method to general attention.
Ornitz, on the other hand, was a didactic leftist who dealt with problems of the poor and political corruption and inequality.

 Rachel Rubin / Jewish Gangsters of Modern Literature
In this vividly written study, Rachel Rubin posits the Jewish literary gangster--a figure whose violence, transgressiveness, and ongoing internal conflict render him an important symbol of modernity--as a locus for exploring questions of artistic power in the interwar years.
Focusing specifically on the Russian writer Isaac Babel and Americans Mike Gold, Samuel Ornitz, and Daniel Fuchs, but also taking in cartoons, movies, and modernist paintings, Rubin casts the Jewish gangster as a crucial figure used by left-wing Jewish writers to examine their own place in world history.
Rubin contends that these writers saw their artistic endeavors as akin to the work of their gangster doubles: outcasts and rebels "kneebreaking" their way into the literary canon while continuing to "do business" with the system.
