“What this country needs is a good five-cent synthesis.” Saul Bellow.

Welcome

Mark Cohen writes and lectures on aspects of Jewish culture that have no overlap except Cohen himself. He is the author of a Sephardic history, an expert on the song parodies of Allan Sherman, a passionate fan of Saul Bellow, and a proponent of Beat writer Seymour Krim.

He has an interesting bookshelf.

He also has years of experience in high-tech public relations.

Here is some of what Cohen has been working on lately,
