Bernard Malamud (1914-1986) often uses history in his fiction. Besides the stories like The Fixer (1966),
which is based on the real historical event, there is one like "The Last Mohican" (1958), which depicts the
protagonist's recognition by making use of the multiple layers of Roman history. In A New Life (1961),
Malamud shows how the protagonist changes by using the double history of the U.S.: McCarthyism, which
had just become history at the time, and the history of founding fathers.
