About This Item

Hardback with DJ. Melvin Jules Bukiet is an author and literary critic. He has written a number of novels, including Sandman's Dust, After, While the Messiah Tarries, Signs and Wonders, Strange Fire, and A Faker's Dozen. He edited the collections Neurotica: Jewish Writers on Sex, Nothing Makes You Free, and Scribblers on the Roof. He won the 1992 Edward Lewis Wallant Award. Melvin Jules Bukiet has to be one of the most promising young writers around, based on the evidence of this book. He is a spectacularly talented writer. The best evidence of his talent lies in his fictional portrait of Elie Wiesel as "Der Schreiber." Subtle, compassionate enough to be brutal (and vice versa), and deeply insightful, it alone is worth the price of the book; it is worthy of such a master of real-life irony as Satyajit Ray, and calls to mind Ray's film "Devi" (with an added twist). The rest of "After" is not on this level--itself ironic, because Bukiet makes much of the contrast between his hero and "Der Schreiber". This book is highly recommended.
