This is Josh Lambert’s personal website. Thank you for stopping by.

I’m currently Academic Director of the Yiddish Book Center, in Amherst, MA, a Visiting Assistant Professor of English at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and a contributing editor to Tablet.

If you’re interested in my literary criticism and arts journalism, click one of the logos below for links to my book reviews and essays, or here for all the articles that I’ve reprinted on this site, in chronological order. I’ve also published a readers’ guide to American Jewish fiction; a handful of scholarly articles; a few short stories; and, bizarrely, a cookbook. Feel free to take a look at my CV or this short biography if you’re curious about my background. And if you’d like to discuss my work, or anything else, please click here to send me an email.
