Abstract

Howard Jacobson (1942–) has been the leading Jewish writer in Britain for nearly four decades. He remains at the height of his powers with the recent publication of his memoir, Mother’s Boy: A Writer’s Beginnings (2022) which is referred to throughout this introduction. I will return to Jacobson’s first novel, Coming from Behind (1983), to show how it relates to his ‘golden’ period which is the focus of the articles in this Special Issue. Novels produced during this period include: The Mighty Walzer (1999), Kalooki Nights (2006), The Finkler Question (2010), J: A Novel (2014) and Shylock Is My Name (2016). Jacobson’s growing confidence – moving between the individual and the collective, between comedy and tragedy, and between realism and experimentalism – will be at the heart of the introduction.

成为霍华德·雅各布森

霍华德·雅各布森（1942–）是英国近四十年来最著名的犹太作家。随着回忆录《母亲的男孩：作家的开端》（2022）的出版，他仍然处于权力的巅峰。我将回到雅各布森的第一部小说《从背后来》（1983），来展示它与他的“黄金”时期的关系，这是本期特刊文章的重点。这一时期创作的小说包括：《威武者》（1999）、《卡卢基之夜》（2006）、《芬克勒问题》（2010）、《J：小说》（2014）和《夏洛克是我的名字》（2016）。雅各布森日益增长的自信——在个人和集体之间，在喜剧和悲剧之间，在现实主义和实验主义之间——将是引言的核心。
