Review: Why Harry Met Sally: Subversive Jewishness, Anglo-Christian Power, and the Rhetoric of Modern Love, Joshua Louis Moss Wendy Zierler1,*
A student walks into my office, sees this book on my desk, and asks, “Why Harry Met Sally?” She knows that the title of the 1989 movie with Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan begins with “when”, not “why”
One is more likely to ask “how” or, as in the case of Nora Ephron’s title, “when” did you meet? I explain to the student that in this study of prominent Christian-Jewish historical, literary, and filmic couplings from the nineteenth century to the present, the “why” of the match – its social and cultural rationale and effect – is precisely the point
