Inside, Outside
A Novel
by Herman Wouk
Review this book!
Through a protagonist who rises to become president Nixon's speech writer, Wouk evokes the two sides of the Jewish American experience--the "inside" of family, faith, and tradition, and the "outside" of assimilation and advancement. Spanning 60 years of American life from the innocence of the 1920s to the jaded turbulence of the recent past, Wouk blends an intimate sense of humor with images from a nostalgic past.
