The Jewish Prince of Denmark - Hardcover

by Michael Fine (Author)

Jewish Stories. Jew-ish Stories.

Stories about Jews and non-Jews, living together in a confusing world and trying to find a way to continue to do so, in a world that keeps changing, collapsing in on itself, the ground changing under everyone's feet. Stories about small choices, small acts, small ideas, simple decencies, the way people and a people take care of one another, people who live in the shadow of the valley of death but persevere.

But be careful: if you think you see the shadow of something bigger in these little stories or hear something more resounding in the echo of what sounds at first like only a still small voice....that is likely to be only your imagination, only a mirage. Perhaps.

"Michael Fine's The Jewish Prince of Denmark is replete with engaging mystery, surprising curiosities, and delightful nuance. Open the door, step inside, and get ready to explore."

-Frederic G. Reamer, Ph.D.
