Geography of a Life
An Astonishing work, breathtakingly bold in conception and passionately written . . . salutary, exciting and in its historiographical aspects convincing.' (G. W Bowersock, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton.) Demands to be taken seriously . . . Every page that Bernal writes is educating and enthralling. To agree with all his theses may be a sign of naivety, but not to have spent time in his company is a sign of nothing at all.' (Ray, Herbert Thompson Reader in Egyptology, University of Cambridge.) Anticipation of Geography of a Life' Martin Bernal himself has avowed that Black Athena owes its conception to a mid-life crisis. Now that he has overcome this set-back with obvious success, one hopes he will live long enough to follow the example set by his mother Margaret Gardiner and his grandfather Sir Alan (Gardiner), who both wrote their memoirs in their eighties. I have no doubt that Bernal's autobiography will generate more interest among educated lay persons and less irritation among scholars than any future volume of Black Athena.' (Arno Egberts, Professor of Egyptology, University of Leiden.)
Found: A Story of One Life Transformation
"I once was lost but now am found." These words from John Newton's Amazing Grace express the journey of Michael Jaffe, a journey through devastating grief to the wonder of meaning. Jaffe tells his story by sharing his most vulnerable life's moments. He straightforwardly and poignantly reveals how he survived the deep trauma of his early years and sought to find purpose through the turbulent sixties. Follow Jaffe's search for meaning through the Orthodox Judaism of his early years, the quest for social justice as a teenager, the seeming magic of Woodstock, and ultimately the despair that accompanies life's broken promises. Then in a moment of time everything changed. Despair gave way to hope,...
Spy
Smart. Funny. Fearless."It's pretty safe to say that Spy was the most influential magazine of the 1980s. It might have remade New York's cultural landscape; it definitely changed the whole tone of magazine journalism. It was cruel, brilliant, beautifully written and perfectly designed, and feared by all. There's no magazine I know of that's so continually referenced, held up as a benchmark, and whose demise is so lamented" --Dave Eggers. "It's a piece of garbage" --Donald Trump.

The Sacred and the Profane
The characters portrayed will strike responsive chords in today's readers. "The Rebbetzin" is the account of an ambitious woman who constantly pushes forward her scholarly husband, with the image always before her of the more eminent rabbi to whom she was once betrothed. In "Laybe-Layzar's Courtyard" Grade gives us the people of a crowded Jewish neighborhood in Vilna, among them a fanatical pietist, a restless playboy and his vindictive wife, and a rabbi who finds that he cannot escape the yoke of the rabbinate or involvement in the destinies of others.
