Myron Kaufmann

Who was Myron Kaufmann?

Myron Kaufmann was an American Jewish novelist best remembered for his popular 1957 novel, Remember Me to God.

Josh Lambert writes that Remember Me To God was "hailed on publication as one of the finest novels ever written about American Jews and remained on the New York Times bestseller list for an entire year, almost no one remembers it today." Kaufmann's second novel, Thy Daughter's Nakedness, appeared in 1968, and when his third, The Love of Elspeth Baker was published in 1982, the New York Times called him "a man who takes his time." The later novels did not live up to the promise of the first.
