Weinstock Among the Dying

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 - reprinted in paperback for the first time - won the 1994 Harold U. Ribalow Prize for Best Work of Jewish Fiction. Judges were Elie Wiesel, Thomas Keneally, and Merrill Joan Gerber.
