Available Copies Details Synopsis

In the basement of the Cleveland synagogue where his father, Arthur, was a celebrated rabbi, Joseph Lelyveld finds a musty trunk of souvenirs. Applying his award- winning investigative skills, as both a newspaperman and author, Lelyveld uses his fathers letters and mementos to rediscover his shakily remembered childhood, and his parents unhappy marriage. Lelyvelds journey through personal history unexpectedly touches landmarks of the past centurythe Scottsboro trials, the Zionist movement, the Hollywood blacklist, and Mississippis freedom summer of 1964and, in the words of Joan Didion, this astonishing journal of personal discovery combines both a powerfully affecting family history and a political history of the most complex kind.
