'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''', MFA, ({{LifeData|birth=1972-05-05|birthplace=Leningrad|birthcountry=Soviet Union}}), although born to a Jewish family, was not [[circumcised, because circumcisions were not permitted in the Soviet Union at that time. '''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is a Soviet-born Jewish novelist and journalist, who migrated to the [[United States]] when seven-years-old.
He received an unnecessary [[Brit Milah|ritual circumcision]], after which a serious, painful [[complication]] developed. He had a [[skin bridge]], which is a complication of [[circumcision]] that cannot occur in [[foreskinned]] men.
He teaches writing at {{UNI|Columbia University|CUNY}} and is a contributor to <i>The New Yorker</i>.
