In this lyrical and poignant book, Finding Immortality: The Making
of One American Family, award-winning writer Herbert Hadad records
the joys and sorrows of parenthood and, in so doing, opens a wide
window into family life that is intimate and unmistakably American.
The masterful prose of Finding Immortality conveys the true tale of
one family confronting and triumphing over real issues, from
infidelity and drink to mortality and racism. These universal
themes provide a treasury of lessons for parents and all other
admirers of fine writing to learn and enjoy. Here is what some
readers have had to say about Finding Immortality:
"An elegant writer and story teller, Hadad spins tales as
compelling as O'Henry's. These are vivid, often roguish, portraits
of the angst and pleasures of contemporary existence."
-Selwyn Raab, author and retired New York Times reporter
"Kid boxer and life-long journalist Herb Hadad has been around.
He's seen a lot. Part Jew, part Arab, and all American, he loves
his children, his wife, and his world. These stories will clear the
mind and warm the heart."
-Benjamin H. Cheever, novelist and journalist
"Herb Hadad distills with a great eye and a great ear what we
care about and presents it brilliantly, with wit and
understanding."
-Dr. Myles Striar, professor of education emeritus, Boston
University, writer, and translator
