Zornberg has an article in:
J.A. Kates and G.T. Reimer (eds.), _Reading_Ruth_, New York 1994.

See also: Aaron Demsky, "Names and No-Names in the Book of Ruth", in: A.
Demsky, J.A. Reif and J. Tabory (eds.), _These_Are_the_Names_, Ramat Gan:
Bar Ilan U. Press 1997, pp. 27-37 (English section).

A survey of some of the recent literature on ruth may be found in: Edward L.
Greenstein, "Reading Strategies and the Story of Ruth", in: A. Bach (ed.),
_Women_in_the_Hebrew_Bible, New York 1999, pp. 211-231.

If you read modern Hebrew, I can add some more to this list.
