This research paper: (5 pp). Bernard Malamud's (1914-1986) first novel, The Natural, an allegory about the rise and fall of a baseball player, was published in 1952. According to Rothstein (1986), it is different from most of his work in that there are no Jewish characters. After the book was made into a movie starring Robert Redford in 1984, Malamud said in an interview that he was grateful for the film because it allowed him "to be recognized once more as an American writer" as opposed to a Jewish writer. But The Natural is similar to his later novels and stories in that it lies in the realm of a morality play. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
