With a new intro by Aleksandar Hemon In The Tenants (1971), Bernard Malamud helped bring his unerring sense of modern urban life to carry on the issue between blacks and Jews then inflaming his indigenous Brooklyn. The only real tenant in a rundown tenement, Henry Lesser is attempting to finish a book, but his solitary quest for the sublime grows complicated when Willie Spearmint, a dark-colored copy writer ambivalent toward Jews, goes into the building. Henry and Willie are artistic rivals and unwilling neighbours, and their uneasy calmness is disturbed by the occurrence of Willie's white partner Irene and the landlord Levenspiel's attempts to evict both men and demolish the building. This novel's issue, current then, is perennial now; it shows the slippery dynamics of the real human condition, and the real human capacity for violence and undoing.
