Fiction. Jewish Studies. This Michael Blumenthal novel was chosen
by Elie Wiesel, Thomas Kenneally, and Merrill Joan Gerber as winner
of Hadassah Magazine's prestigious Ribelow Prize as Best Jewish
Novel of the Year in 1994. In its all-too-short lifespan, it
received rave reviews from Kirkus and Publisher's Weekly and
glowing tributes from such writers as Lorrie Moore, Tim O'Brien,
Jhumpa Lahiri, Robert Coles, and Leslie Epstein. Unfortunately,
just three months after the novel's publication, its publisher,
Zoland Books, was forced to close for economic reasons, and this
brilliant novel by one of America's finest poets hardly even saw
the light of day. It is now available for the first time in
paperback allowing it a second--really a first--life. Once you read
it, I am sure you will agree that it more than deserves the kind of
critical and popular attention which--due to the unfortunate
circumstances that befell its original publisher--it never
received.
