"Reminiscent of Bernard Malamud and Cynthia Ozick, Norman Levine’s short fiction was largely ignored in his lifetime. Yet they remain some of the most skillfully-crafted and moving works of the last half of the twentieth century. Taken together, these stories make a convincing argument for Levine’s mastery, and as a writer in need of urgent rediscovery."--From publisher.
