	Sholem Asch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sholem Asch (1880 - 1957), also known as Shalom Asch, was a Polish-born American novelist, dramatist, and essayist in the Yiddish language.
		Asch was born in Kutno, Poland, of Jewish heritage.
		He was one of ten children of a cattle-dealer and innkeeper, and received a traditional Jewish education; as a young man he followed that with a more liberal education obtained at Wloclawek, where he supported himself as a letter writer for the illiterate Jewish townspeople.

	[No title]
		Asch, it should be noted, was a highly emotional man and even in his most successful years was often embroiled in controversy, attacked in many quarters, and furious in his response.
		Asch, During the past half year I have written you twice with regard to an anthology of Yiddish literature in English translation that is being edited by myseif and Eliezer Greenberg, the YIddish poet.
		Asch is very much upset, not so much because you overdid what you were supposed to do, but because, after getting permission to use the material, the editors' comments were none too flattering to say the least.

		Asch could have excluded the "reincarnation" scenario and just scripted an historical novel based on the known events of Christ's life.
		Asch is a jewish writer but does not contradict Christian beliefs; he rather offers the reader varying accounts of characters in the book, as history itself has done.
		It is as if Sholem Asch were one of these characters, masterfully detailing life in Israel while under the rule of Rome, weaving the stories of individuals with the biblical accounts of Jesus and His disciples.

		Asch's ability as a writer, as a master of imagery, is universally recognized.
		Asch himself would disclaim that he is a theologian and would assert that he wrote these two books "for pleasure." Yet they are decidedly theological, for both The Nazarene and The Apostle are being used today as textbooks in Christian religious seminaries.
		Asch himself, although he is a poor public speaker, is being deluged with invitations to lecture to the faculties and student bodies of Christian schools and colleges.

		Asch was not afraid to tackle controversial subjects.
		Asch's fervent belief that Christianity was a form of Judaism, and that Jews and Christians should live together in harmony alienated his core readers.
		With the publication of his three Christological novels during and immediately after the Holocaust, Asch was dropped from the Yiddish canon and more or less forgotten.

		Asch's original script presents risks galore, from the epic size of its cast and set, its ambitious roundup of seedy Jewish characters manning a low class whorehouse, to its reputation for immorality and anti-Semitism.
		In Asch's native Poland, a wealthy Jewish pimp yearns for respectability, figuring he can buy his way into a new life.
		For Asch, the demands of society inevitably stain the purity of religion and the body: both men and women run businesses and sell dreams of satisfaction.

		When Sholom Asch's Yiddish play God of Vengeance was first performed in English on Broadway in 1923, the entire cast was fined $200 apiece for lewd behavior.
		Though Asch's 1907 drama constantly delighted Yiddish audiences, a brothel-based love scene between a whore and the brothel owner's daughter irked Broadway sensibilities beyond propriety.
		But dreams of white weddings couldn't be further from the virgin's mind, as her illicit love for the prostitute Mankeh (Elizabeth Gondek) threatens to destroy her father's naive hopes.

		Bogosian’s play, which is in its world premiere, is either a provocative, politically audacious discourse on gender, sex, and power or a middle-aged writer’s preening, masochistic fantasy — maybe a bit of both, in which the author gets to play his own doppelgänger.
		Although playwright and novelist Asch was born in Poland, God of Vengeance, his best-known drama, debuted in Berlin in 1907, under the direction of Max Reinhardt, with Rudolf Schildkraut in the role undertaken at Williamstown by Tony winner (for Angels in America) Ron Leibman.
		Margulies transfers Asch’s tale of a brothel operator trying to arrange a respectable marriage for his beloved daughter from turn-of-the-century Poland to the Lower East Side of the 1920s, an area packed and teeming with a largely Jewish immigrant population.

	Scribner's Magazine Reviews by Eli Siegel / 'Three Cities: A Trilogy' by Sholom Asch
		He shows us Lenin, that quiet displacer of universal landmarks; some of the best writing in the book is where Lenin dismisses the Russian Constitutional Assembly gathered just after the Bolsheviks took power.
		Here Asch is funny and poetic; his writing rings deeply and permanently.
		When Asch shows us just what Bolshevism did to the minute-by-minute life of persons who had seen other times, he is better than any of those many historical and sociological describers of Russia deciding to go in for Marxian renovations and house-cleaning.

		The Drag never made it to Broadway, and other gay- and lesbian-themed plays were closed.
		Sholom Asch's tale of lesbian love, God of Vengeance, which had long been a staple of Yiddish theater in its original version, Gott fun Nekoma, was another victim of the campaign of censorship.
		This climate kept gay and lesbian characters largely absent from the stage since theater managers were reluctant to risk financial losses--much less prosecution and possible imprisonment.

		Unlike traditional literary stories, folk tales are typically handed down the generations anonymously in multiple variants: they are the straw that talented writers often use to spin into gold.
		This collection boasts many famous authors — S. Ansky, Mendele Moykher Sforim, Der Nister, Sholem Aleichem and Sholom Asch — as well as many lesser names, offering many intriguing tales.
		The anonymous Story of Bovo dates from 10th-century Denmark and, as Neugroschel explains, was drawn from the Arabian Nights.

	God of Vengeance
		In the Winter of 1906, Sholom Asch and a group of young writers gathered in the home of Y.L. Peretz, one of the founders of modern Yiddish literature, to read Asch's first play, God Of Vengeance.
		Upon completing the read, Peretz turned to Asch and said, “Burn it.” The play continued to provoke controversy, culminating in its English-translated Broadway premiere in 1923 when its cast and producers were thrown in jail on obscenity charges.
		Still intensely provocative in 2001, this new translation by Caraid O’Brien tells the story of a wealthy brothel owner who is seeking redemption from God and the community.
