What is charismatic Holocaust survivor Meyer Maslow to think
when a rough-looking young neo-Nazi named Vincent Nolan walks into
the Manhattan office of Maslow's human rights foundation and
declares that he wants to "save guys like me from becoming guys
like me"? As Vincent gradually turns into the sort of person who
might actually be able to do this, he also transforms those around
him: Meyer Maslow, who fears heroism has become a desk job; the
foundation's dedicated fund-raiser, Bonnie Kalen, an appealingly
vulnerable divorced single mother; and even Bonnie's teenage
son.
Francine Prose's "A Changed Man" is a darkly comic and
masterfully inventive novel that poses essential questions about
human nature, morality, and the capacity for personal
reinvention.
