• Hmmm. Maybe you could give a bit of context. Are you thinking historically?

• I was thinking of 20th and 21st century short stories that deal with loss of tradition, introduction of new cultures, the pros and cons of new technology etc.

• "The Secular Jewish-American Past is Never Completely Past"
  
  With so much talk about Jewish-American writers and their characters reconnecting with Judaism, I suspect that some are wondering if social realism of the sort Philip Roth did so brilliantly in Goodbye, Columbus (1959) still has a place.
  It does, although perhaps well off to the sidelines. Joseph Epstein, widely known as a former editor of American Scholar and a frequent contributor to Commentary magazine, continues to publish collections of his short stories (Fabulous Small Jews, 2004), and Gerald Shapiro (Bad Jews, 2004), considerably younger than Epstein, writes old-fashioned, fall-down funny stories that prove it's still possible to take the comic measure of Jewish foodstuffs and squabbling Jewish families.
