My book has received the following reviews since its publication this month:

"Stanley Kubrick is outstanding in its approach and the material it covers. As a pioneer work, anyone investigating Kubrick in the future would not be able to overlook Abrams' findings and arguments."
--Marat Grinberg, coeditor of Woody on Rye: Jewishness in the Films and Plays of Woody Allen

"With imagination and intellectual rigor, using archival research and close readings of the films, Nathan Abrams explores Stanley Kubrick’s relationship with his Jewishness in this exceptionally readable and convincing book."
--Robert P. Kolker, author of The Extraordinary Image

"Brilliantly documents and analyzes Kubrick's Jewish sensibility by locating him in the lifelong context of his Jewish cultural and intellectual milieu. Abrams breaks acres of new ground. Essential reading."
--Geoffrey Cocks, author of The Wolf at the Door: Stanley Kubrick, History, and the Holocaust

“A must-read for anyone interested in Kubrick, this original and provocative study combines wonderfully perceptive film analyses with extensive archival research and a dazzling display of cultural-historical and biographical knowledge.”
--Peter Krämer, author of BFI Film Classics on Dr. Strangelove and 2001: A Space Odyssey

"Written by Nathan Abrams, a superstar of contemporary Kubrick studies, this wonderfully knowledgeable and scholarly account of the great director’s Jewishness is the most original film book I’ve read for many years."
--I.Q. Hunter, author of Cult Film as a Guide to Life: Fandom, Adaptation, and Identity

"[A] pathbreaking new book [...] As he digs deep into rare Kubrick archives to reveal insights about the director’s life and times, film scholar Nathan Abrams also provides a nuanced account of Kubrick’s cinematic artistry. Each chapter offers a detailed analysis of one of Kubrick’s major films, including Lolita, Dr. Strangelove, 2001, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut. Stanley Kubrick thus presents an illuminating look at one of the twentieth century’s most renowned and yet misunderstood directors."
David Mikics -- Tablet Magazine (3 April 2018)

"In Nathan Abrams’s Stanley Kubrick: New York Jewish Intellectual, [an] exploration of the contradictions of Kubrick’s relation to Jewish identity, the film is seen through the lens of Biblical allusion and Kabbalistic interpretation."
Geoffrey O'Brien -- Wall Street Journal (12 April 2018)
