"From the plains of Germany in World War II to a prison camp on the banks of the Yalu, from Union Square in Manhattan to a private practice in a rural town in New York State, Benjamin Beer M.D. (good soldier, prodigious fornicator, sometime humorist, and erstwhile fiddler) pursues the answers to life: to kill or not to kill, and whom; to love or not to love, and whom; to be or not to be, and who. Through twenty years, on three continents, amidst rich, deftly drawn characters, vivid scenes and alien landscapes, Benny chases truth, love and beauty while pratfall alternates with agony and the fates conceal their last surprise. And on the last day proud Benny, a man of strength and a stubborn Jew, learns once and for all that he has no choice but to assume that ancient and intolerable obligation to be good man." $16.50USD
