Author-in-Residence Joshua Max Feldman, Nov 2015

The Book of Jonah: This charming, modern-day Jonah — half-Jewish and estranged from God, swallowed up by sleep rather than a whale — would seem to have little in common with his Old Testament namesake. But after a series of terrifying visions, his well-ordered world is shattered and he is forced to act. Jonah is faced with a mission of, well, biblical proportions and must come to terms with his faith and morality. The risk-taking and sheer weirdness of “The Book of Jonah” is worth applauding. – The New York Times Book Review "Feldman captures the contemporary New York zeitgeist but also effectively tackles questions of biblical proportions: How can we live in a world we can't comprehend? How can we serve a God whose will we can't understand?"—Shelf Awareness.
