From New York Review Books

The Family Mashber The story of three brothers—a businessman, a mystic, and a savant—that is a brilliantly innovative fusion of modernist art and traditional storytelling. "The restitution of this Yiddish masterwork—as life-saturated as the other great Russian novels—is an augmentation of world literature." —Cynthia Ozick

Riders in the Chariot Tender and lacerating, pure and profane, subtle and sweeping, Riders in the Chariot is one of the Nobel Prize winner's boldest books.
