In this evocative novel, Solomon Deheftner achieves fame as a stage
magician and escapologist in the tradition of the Great Houdini.
But he abandons that career to search for something far more
elusive: the profound magic inherent in mystical transcendence.
Using his knowledge of conjuring and his Jewish upbringing as a
foundation, Deheftner makes his way from New York to San Francisco,
probing the secrets of Yoga, meditation, vegetarianism, animal
intelligence, bondage, and sadomasochism in his quest for spiritual
enlightenment.
A novel about a family even more dysfunctional than the one you
grew up in. Will's Surreal Period is a richly satisfying tale-at
times laugh-out-loud hilarious and at times deeply moving-that
features a rollickingly dysfunctional family, a seemingly endless
array of succulent foodstuffs, and a brain tumor that transforms a
mediocre painter into a virtuoso. Now toss in a smidgen of BDSM and
a few beguiling tidbits exploring brain chemistry and human
evolution, and you have a story that will hook you fast and
captivate you till the end. "Will's Surreal Period proves why works
of fiction are high art. . . . Robert Steven Goldstein deftly
converts our raw human foibles into emotive entertainment and, as
he does, reminds us, sometimes painfully, sometimes hilariously,
who we are." -MICHAEL J. COFFINO, award-winning author of Truth Is
in the House
