Musical selections in this podcast are drawn from the Quintet for Clarinet and Strings, op. It’s easy to acknowledge the darkness of the Holocaust and to marvel at the optimism of Anne Frank, but Horn detects in that acknowledgment something insidious that hasn’t yet been fully revealed or explained. In the book, and in this podcast conversation with Mosaic Editor Jonathan Silver, Horn suggests that Jewish communities, figures, and abstract symbols of “the Jews” have come to serve a moral role in the Western imagination that, when one takes a step back, is bizarre and grotesque. That’s because Horn makes an argument that tries to change the way people think about the function of Jews in the conscience of the West. The celebrated novelist Dara Horn’s new book, People Love Dead Jews, has an arresting title, one designed to make the reader feel uncomfortable.
