WORK OF THE JEWISH LITERARY CANON, SIGNED
In the sequel his poignant addition to the Jewish literary canon, Chaim Potok returns to Reuven and Danny's lives: Reuven as he studies to be a rabbi under a terrifying teacher and Danny as he boldly casts out in pursuit of clinical psychology. Marked with the fingerprints of his own life, Potok's tale is an expert exploration of the tensions between tradition and innovation, home and ambition.
