Essay Contest Winner

I'm not much into the idea of entering "contests," (but then, I guess every fiction submission I make is a type of contest) but at the urging of my professor in Issues in Jewish-American Writing, I submitted a paper I wrote to a Jewish Studies Interdisciplinary Program essay contest and won. The paper, "Mending the Self: Second-Generation Survivor Narratives" considers second-generation Holocaust survivor narratives, using Art Spiegelman's The Complete Maus and Thane Rosenbaum's Elijah Visible.
