“Coming out shortly after the famous Pew report on American Jewry, this book is particularly relevant in its analysis of some of the ways Orthodox Judaism dealt with modernism. It is an effective antidote to any simple analysis that is based on stereotypical views of orthodox—or of its variegated opponents. Building on a deep familiarity with the subgroups in all of the camps and the many ways in which Jewish tradition could be interpreted, he introduces the English-speaking reader to a world that was built on premises far removed from those of contemporary Western society. Salmon elucidates and explains these assumptions. It is important to be familiar with them because we live with their consequences and they influence the future. This is a book that is eye-opening about the past of the Jews—but is no less significant for an understanding of the present.”

"A gripping tale of compulsion, obsession, and forgiveness, set so evocatively amidst the fogs and furies of the offseason Maine coast. It's also an intriguing exploration of the ways in which our ancestral pasts echo within our own psyches." --Lisa Alther, author of Kinflicks and Kinfolks"Shipwrecks, doomed lovers, family secrets, sea-babies, toilet-babies, and historical-reenactment sex are but a few of the facets of this deftly kaleidoscopic novel. With Waterbaby, Cris Mazza shows us how, through resuscitating our pasts, and rescuing each other, we might just save ourselves." -- Alex Shakar, author of Savage Girl"With the wickedly wry observation, 'Family is always best,' Chris Mazza pierces the heart of this big-hearted novel. Mean and funny and, ultimately, loving, Waterbaby is the pitch-perfect tale of an all-American family in gothic and comic splendor. This is a delightful and delightfully smart book. --Binnie Kirshenbaum, author of An Almost Perfect Moment"Packs a lingering wallop." --Kirkus Reviews"Titled after the Charles Kingsley fairy tale, this dizzying novel opens on epileptic, prematurely retired Tam Marr-Burgess, who is pushing 46, and whose attempt to collude with her landlady in a minor fraud goes very bad. The result is an immediate, spectacular eviction. As Tam lights out from the Chicago suburbs, Mazza (How to Leave a Country) sets up several parallel narratives, each of which has echoes of the other: Tam is headed for the family enclave in Maine, where she had her first seizure when swimming at school, was either saved (the official story) or sabotaged (Tam's version) by her elder brother, Gary, and never swam again. On arriving, she rescues an infant from a Laundromat toilet, and then hides the baby and its petulant teen mother at the family lighthouse. She also joins her amateur genealogist sister, Martha, in digging up information on three mysterious figures: a baby saved from the waves by Tam's lighthouse-keeper ancestors, a relative named Mary Catherine, and a local ghost-all of whom may have things to tell them about their own lives." --Publishers Weekly

A Novel

Waterbaby

“Ian Probstein’s The
River of Time is an ambitious study of modernist poetry in two major ways …
in the sheer number and variety of the poets discussed in the book … [and] in
the parameters that Probstein sets for his study. … Probstein’s frame of
reference, broad as it is, holds refreshing potential: it allows the author to
move, with varying ease, between numerous voices of Russian and Anglo-American
literary contexts. All too often, in the discussion of modernist literature,
scholars downsize modernism to a rigid and geographically limited canon, which
does not incorporate modernist authors from a broader map of national contexts,
including Russia. While Probstein focuses on the works of some of the central
modernist figures, he also seeks to embrace the complexity and diversity of
modernisms (we can appreciate here the creative mind of an experienced
translator and editor of numerous anthologies).” —B. Tokarsky, University of Cambridge,
Slavonic and East European Review Vol.

"Between them, articles relating to Martin Buber and Abraham Joshua Heschel account for over nine hundred entries in the Jewish National Library’s Index of Articles on Jewish Studies. Add to this the steady stream of books concerning either Buber or Heschel, and the sheer bulk of the bibliography is even more daunting. Comparisons between the two thinkers, however, are rare. None of the previous attempts to set these two figures alongside each other in search of affinities and contrasts compares in scope and depth to the volume under review. By undertaking a well-structured and thoughtful comparison of the men they describe as ‘giant and committed thinkers of the twentieth century,’ Alexander Even-Chen and Ephraim Meir have achieved a significant feat. Rather than being one more entry in a crowded field, Between Heschel and Buber deserves a special place within a rapidly burgeoning literature. . . . Without doubt, [the authors] have moved the discourse concerning the interface between Heschel and Buber to a new level of sophistication and depth."

"Diane Kriger's theoretical foray into the thick of the debate on how to study the legal systems of antiquity, how to compare them, and how to distinguish external influences from internal development, will prove to be a landmark in academic discourse. The work is also a testament to her personal courage, integrity, and pursuit of justice."

“In the first extended encounter with Leonard Cohen’s complex and demanding legacy since Cohen’s death Aubrey Glazer profoundly attunes us to the prophetic, mystical, and Jewish registers of Cohen’s voice and music that are normally an octave too high for our ears. This book reflects a rare combination of erudition and poetic sensitivity needed for the task to guide us along a musical scale ranging from Isaac on the altar to Jesus on the cross to Joan of Arc on the stake; from the medieval Jewish philosopher Maimonides to a Hasidic Rebbe against the backdrop of Quebecois culture to the Zen master Roshi; and from the Zohar to Yiddish humour. Cohen’s passing leaves another crack in the world and Glazer’s study allows the light to come streaming through.”
