 Book DescriptionThe best-selling author of The Search for God at Harvard continues his spiritual quest in this heartfelt and poignant account of the year he spent saying kaddish for his father. The day after Ari Goldman celebrated his fiftieth birthday his father died of a heart attack, and Goldman began the ritual year of mourning required by Jewish law.

The Old Child & Other Stories Jenny Erpenbeck
 Book Description Sparse, engaging fiction by one of Germany's most original young writers. The Old Child & Other Stories introduces in English one of Germany's most original and brilliant young authors, Jenny Erpenbeck. Written in spare, highly concentrated language, "a sustained feat of verbal economy" ( Die Zeit ), the one novella and four stories in The Old Child go beyond the limits of the expected, the real.

The parable-like novella "The Old Child" describes agirl's mind as seemingly blank: picked up off the street with no discoverable past, she is taken to a children's home where she discovers she can "succeed by her silence." Another story, "In the Penumbra of My Skull," tells of a girl......
