New York Judaism in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Also, trigamy. The style's crisp, though the protagonist is a complex and not entirely likeable guy (aside from the philandering, which he becomes increasingly honest about anyway...). There's a start-and-stop to the narrative, in which many times over a re-beginning of life's narrative is attempted and dropped, which makes sense given the insurmountable questions that the main characters, all of whom are survivors of WWII in some capacity, must address about the order of the world, and what sort of divinity could allow what happened. You could call it a narrative crisis depicting, what, a teleological (sp?) crisis? Anyway, good though not great, and well-composed. I'd read more of his stuff.
