Cosponsored by the Greater Capital Region Teacher Center Nathan Englander March 28, 2000 (Tuesday) 8:00 p.m. Reading Campus Center Assembly Hall UAlbany, Uptown Campus 4:00 p.m. Informal Seminar Campus Center 375 Nathan Englander is the author of For the Relief of Unbearable Urges (1999), a debut collection of nine short stories heralded by many writers and critics as one of the most satisfying and original volumes of short fiction to have emerged in some time. The stories are powerfully inventive and often haunting, steeped in the weight of Jewish history and in the customs of Orthodox life. What makes these stories remarkable is the largeness of their spirita spirit that finds in doubt a doorway to faith, and in despair a chance for the heart to deepen. For the Relief of Unbearable Urges , but there is something much more as well, a quality of wisdom that would seem to transcend the author's twenty-seven years. As Michiko Kakutani writes in the New York Times , "Englander's voice is. . .keenly attuned to both the absurdities of life and its undertow of sadness and disappointment. Ann Beattie , have emphasized Englander's originality, "Every so often there's a new voice that entirely revitalizes the short story. It happened with Richard Ford, and with Denis Johnson, and with Thom Jones. It's happening again with Nathan Englander, whose precise, funny, heartbreaking, well-controlled but never contrived stories open a window on a fascinating landscape we might never have known was there. It's the best story collection I've read in ages."

Nathan Englander's astonishing debut story collection, For the Relief of Unbearable Urges , is the kind of book that sends a chill up an avid reader's spine. Reading through these nine remarkable stories, it's hard to imagine that this wise and compassionate author is just twenty-nine years old. Though set in the tightly-knit world of Orthodox Judaism, the stories are universal, irreverent, and have a classic feel to them. Frequent comparisons to Bernard Malamud and Isaac Bashevis Singer are well-deserved, but Englander clearly has his own distinctive voice, full of exuberance and grace. In "The Twenty-seventh Man" a Kafka-esque clerical error lands an unknown author in prison with twenty-six famous writers, awaiting Stalin's order for their execution. "The Tumblers," is the fable-like story of a group of Polish Jews who evade certain death at Aushwitz by getting on the wrong train, one filled with circus performers, and transforming themselves into acrobats to save their lives. In stories that span continents and display a wondrous imagination, For the Relief of Unbearable Urges dazzles and delights, heralding the debut of a truly gifted new writer.

@import "/c/style.css"; @import "/c/style.css"; Bookslut Home Features Reviews Columns ... Advertise May 2007 Drew Nellins features An Interview with Nathan Englander Nathan Englander’s first novel, The Ministry of Special Cases , was released late last month by Knopf. It’s been eight years since his short story collection, For the Relief of Unbearable Urges received near-universal praise by both reviewers and readers. He has managed to do it again. The Ministry of Special Cases tells the story of the Argentine Dirty War of the late 1970s, through the lens of a single family: Kaddish and Lillian Poznan and their teenage son Pato, who is “disappeared” by the secret police. In his new book, Englander makes hard writing look easy, examining loss, grief, the bonds that hold a family together, and the unreasonable lengths to which men and women can be driven. Englander agreed to an email interview. When I phoned him for a brief introduction, we ended up speaking at length. Luckily, I had the tape recorder running. In the end, I decided to forgo the email component and use our phone conversation here. Englander was a great sport about the change of plans. His candid insights into his life, tackling big subjects, and the high stakes of his first novel reveal a great deal about the mind of one of the greatest writers producing fiction today. Do you like doing these interviews, or do you just get pushed into them by your publicist?

A group of ceramic mugs, fat and split, like overripe fruit. The chandelier, a pendulum, still swings. The owner, the waitress, the other few customers, sit. I am up at the windows. I am watching the people pour around the corner, watching them run toward us, mouths unhinged, pulling at hair, scratching at faces. They collapse and puff up, hop about undirected. Like wild birds frightened.

12. A Portrait Of Nathan Englander When I ask nathan englander s publicist how I ll recognize the 29year-old writer, she laughs and tells me he s a dead ringer for his dust jacket photo. http://www.generationj.com/archive/culture/englander.html

Old Archive A Portrait of Nathan Englander By Paul Zakrzewski There's good reason for my sudden shock of celebrity recognition. It seems everywhere I turn these days I come across the same brooding, sensuous publicity shot-more Roger Daltrey than Bernard Malamud. I've seen the photo in Newsweek, Time Out New York and The Village Voice. I jog down to the mailbox between breaks from writing this profile and there it is again, this time emblazoned across a postcard advertising an upcoming reading. It's not Englander's good looks that have the press all hot and bothered. Rather, it's his funny, wrenching stories of Orthodox Jewish life, not to mention the Orthodox upbringing he's since abandoned, which make for such great copy. Last summer, when the Village Voice numbered him among a few select "writers on the verge," he'd already won a prestigious Pushcart Prize for what's become the titular story of his new collection. In the past month, he's appeared in two leading venues for fiction writing, New Yorker magazine and the Atlantic Monthly. Meanwhile, Knopf released his debut collection, For The Relief of Unbearable Urges, which earned Englander a reputed $350,000 and prompted Newsweek to dub him "fiction's hot new talent." Even Ann Beattie has blessed Englander's "precise, funny, heartbreaking" stories. "It's the best story collection I've read in ages," Beattie crows on the dust jacket. That kind of buzz will likely make him this season's David Foster Wallace or Donna Tartt. Lois Rosenthal, who edits the influential journal Story, says Englander's strong craftsmanship and his ability to handle powerful subjects with a light touch, is rare among writers. In fact, it was her magazine that originally published the Pushcart prize-winning "For the Relief of Unbearable Urges."
