In partnership with Congregation Beth Emeth, Herndon.
This charming, modern-day Jonah half-Jewish and estranged from God, swallowed up by sleep rather than a whale would seem to have little in common with his Old Testament namesake. But after a series of terrifying visions, his well-ordered world is shattered and he is forced to act. Jonah is faced with a mission of, well, biblical proportions and must come to terms with his faith and morality. The risk-taking and sheer weirdness of "The Book of Jonah" is worth applauding. The New York Times Book Review
"Feldman captures the contemporary New York zeitgeist but also effectively tackles questions of biblical proportions: How can we live in a world we can't comprehend? How can we serve a God whose will we can't understand?"Shelf Awareness. Joshua Max Feldman is a writer of fiction and plays. Born and raised in Amherst, Massachusetts, he graduated from Columbia University, and has lived in England, Switzerland, and New York City. This is his first novel.
