	MSN Encarta - Bernard Malamud
		The Fixer (1966), for which Malamud received the 1967 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, is a poignant novel (based on a true story) of the suffering of a Russian Jewish workman sentenced unjustly to prison; it demonstrates how human beings can come through suffering to an affirmative view of life.
		Malamud's first novel, The Natural (1952), reworks the legend of the Holy Grail as an allegorical fantasy about a star baseball player (see Allegory).
		Born in Brooklyn, New York, Malamud was educated at the City College of New York and Columbia University.

	Bernard Malamud Put 'New Life' Into the American Novel (washingtonpost.com)
		As one who was beginning to fashion a career as a book reviewer, I knew it was necessary to familiarize myself with Malamud's work, as his novel "The Fixer" had swept the major prizes in 1967 and he was commonly regarded as among the most important writers of the day.
		The wit of Malamud's best work is much in evidence -- indeed, at times "A New Life" is laugh-out-loud funny -- but the novel is grounded in quotidian reality in ways not often found in his work.
		From 1949 until 1961 Malamud taught at what was then known as Oregon State College in Corvallis; Levin teaches (though only for one year) at Cascadia College, a "science and technology college" like Oregon State in which the liberal arts get little more than a nod.
