Weinstock Among the Dying - Paperback

by Michael Blumenthal (Author)

Weinstock Among the Dying is a tragi-comic study of one man's attempt to recover from the griefs of his childhood and to enter into a life-giving adulthood of fatherhood and mature love. In it, Michael Blumenthal creates a moving portrait of the human struggle for psychological growth, as well as a witty satire of life at the top of the academic world. The book won the 1994 Harold U. Ribalow Prize for Best Work of Jewish Fiction. Judges were Elie Wiesel, Thomas Keneally, and Merrill Joan Gerber.
