The Tenants (novel)
''The Tenants'' is the sixth novel of Bernard Malamud, published in 1971.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The tenants (Book, 1971) [WorldCat.org] )〕
==Background==
Malamud began the initial composition of the novel in 1969 and completed it in 1971.〔Davis (2007), p. xxi〕 Its plot concerns a rivalry between two writers—one of them a Jew and the other an African-American— who are the last two persons remaining in a soon to be condemned apartment building.〔Hemon, Aleksander (''The Tenants'': An Introduction ) – Hemon provided the Introduction to the 2003 reissue of ''The Tenents''.〕 Before Malamud began writing this novel, he'd already "published two short stories treating relationships between blacks and Jews": "Angel Levine" (1955) and "Black Is My Favorite Color" (1963). After he'd completed the novel, Malamud himself described ''The Tenants'' as a "tight, tense book, closer to the quality of short fiction."〔Davis, Philip. “Bernard Malamud: A Writer's Life.” Oxford University Press,, 2007. ISBN 0199270090. p 272〕
When Malamud was asked, during an interview, what "set off" the writing of his novel, he replied: "Jews and blacks, the period of the troubles in New York City; the teachers strike, the rise of black activism, the mix-up of cause and effect. I thought I’d say a word."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paris Review - The Art of Fiction No. 52, Bernard Malamud )〕 Malamud's biographer explains the genesis of the novel this way:
