Welcome

Mark Cohen writes and lectures on American-Jewish culture and Sephardic history and folk tales. His articles have appeared in a variety of peer-reviewed journals and he has spoken at Indiana University, UCLA, Dickinson College and many synagogues and JCCs. Cohen is the author of a Sephardic history, and he is an expert on the song parodies of Allan Sherman, Saul Bellow's fiction, and the fiery essays of forgotten Beat writer Seymour Krim.
