What are some prominent Jewish authors whose Jewish background has clearly shaped their work? Pic related would be an obvious example.

Plath wasn't Jewish.

She just wanted to present a victim persona in her later poems and so, being ruthless and desperate, adopted the most potent victim mythos of the present day.
She actually incurred a certain amount of criticism for it - "co-opting the Jews' suffering" & all that.

I would be surprised if you could find any Jewish author whose Jewishness has not shaped his work.
But particularly striking examples that come immediately to mind:

Marrcel Proust
Stefan Zweig
Walter Benjamin
Karl Kraus
Joseph Heller
Philip Roth
Susan Sontag
Gloria Steinem

etc
etc

All of them, and with an extremely inbred tribe like jews, who are literally all 5th cousins of one another, this should come as no surprise. Europeans are unique in being staunch individualists, for better and for worse, but jews are as antithetical to that as it gets. Anyone who has studied the jewish problem notices right away the subversive and corrupting aspect of nearly everything they do or are involved with, and writing is no exception.

Please don't dismiss my comment as anti-Semetic but this thread is retarded. First of all, there was nothing Jewish about Kafka's works, I'd like you to point out what you thought was influenced by Jewish heritage if you really believe so.

Second, pretend that I'm Canadian or something, and I have a character eat some poutine for lunch, would you say that my Canadian heritage shaped my work? There is nothing remotely remarkable about some Jewish cultural nuance making it into someone's text.

I swear people will latch onto fucking anything.

Yes, your Canadian upbringing has influenced it. Why are you sperging out? OP asked for prominent Jewish writers where their Jewishness has influenced their works.
Would you feel better if I go and make a thread now about Italian writers who have works influenced by Italianness?

There are a few third/fourth generation Italian-Americans who identify as "Italian" even though their only link to Italy is tenuous; at this point, it's just their surname. That's more a pride thing. Irish-Americans do this too.

The Jews and French are a lot more obnoxious about it. They don't just support their national team or pretend to like the cuisine of their motherland like the Italians and Irish do, they actually exhibit patriotism in a nationalistic and racist manner.

Compare French-Canadians and their retarded laws to ensure French culture is preserved to a few Irish-Americans drinking some beers on St Patrick day.

First, 'racist' isn't a real word and there's nothing wrong with nationalism. Second, if the French were as patriotic and nationalistic as you claim they wouldn't be getting islamicized at the rate they are, which, by the way, is a process that has been sponsored and promoted by jews, not limited to groups like the LICRA and CRIF.

Yes, how strange that an ex-french colony might do more from a legal standpoint to protect their heritage than a small group of powerless descendants of migrants in minority status. Truly mind-boggling.

I know it's about snobby cunts who will literally pass laws about French signs having to be at least 1 inch bigger than the English ones.
