Produktbeschreibung
In this lyrical and poignant book, Finding Immortality: The Making of One American Family, award-winning writer Herbert Hadad records the joys and sorrows of parenthood and, in so doing, opens a wide window into family life that is intimate and unmistakably American. The masterful prose of Finding Immortality conveys the true tale of one family confronting and triumphing over real issues, from infidelity and drink to mortality and racism. These universal themes provide a treasury of lessons for parents and all other admirers of fine writing to learn and enjoy. Here is what some readers have had to say about Finding Immortality: "An elegant writer and story teller, Hadad spins tales as compelling as O'Henry's. These are vivid, often roguish, portraits of the angst and pleasures of contemporary existence." -Selwyn Raab, author and retired New York Times reporter "Kid boxer and life-long journalist Herb Hadad has been around. He's seen a lot. Part Jew, part Arab, and all American, he loves his children, his wife, and his world. These stories will clear the mind and warm the heart." -Benjamin H. Cheever, novelist and journalist "Herb Hadad distills with a great eye and a great ear what we care about and presents it brilliantly, with wit and understanding." -Dr. Myles Striar, professor of education emeritus, Boston University, writer, and translator
