About This Item
Boston. 1999. Bulfinch/Little Brown. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0821225464. Drawings by Donald Sultan. 45 pages. hardcover. keywords: Judaica Religion. FROM THE PUBLISHER - On the eve of his Bar Mitzvah, a boy learns about life from an old man in whose hands an antique watch reveals clues to mans relation to God. This brief tale, written with the familiar cadences of the best Mamet dialogue, moves in a mysterious journey from the intricacies of watchmaking to the horrors of Europe in the Holocaust, as the old man shares his understanding of lifes struggles and what it means to him to be a good Jew. Sultans striking images provide a counterpoint to Mamets story as gilded clocks and elaborate timepieces yield to blank watch faces, barbed wire, empty windows, and stark architectural renderings. David Mamet is one of the most esteemed and highly acclaimed playwrights. Donald Sultan is an artist who has held major exhibitions of his work including one at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. inventory #26599 ISBN: 0821225464.
