The rose rabbi

All men are artists. After all, they have their lives.

Wolf Walker is that noblest of creatures: The unrealized artist. He is also ethical advisor to the Lester & French Advertising Agency - a professional conscience. After reading an alarming entry in his wife's diary on his fortieth birthday, Wolf sets out to reclaim his sense of identity. His resulting midlife crisis is both surreal and hilarious, poignant and imaginative.

The Rose Rabbi is a fable about the relation between morals, art, and life, from one of America's best writers of fiction.
