Wish for Amnesia
A Tale about a Family, and Time and Art and Science, Religion, Philosophy and Current Events
The son of Holocaust survivors develops a Messianic Complex in this wacky, yet unflinching Magic Realism/Philosophy/Political Fiction novel set in New York and Rome. It pivots around the lifelong attempt of Jack Rubin to fulfill his destiny, as he is plagued by voices in his head. Praise includes, "The cheekiest tongue-in-cheek writing to come out of any author about the Jewish experience, the Artworld experience, or any other experience of human beings in 'this Trans-Millennial Century.'"
