FOREST DARK - NICOLE KRAUSS KARTONIERT (TB)

In the wake of his parents' deaths  his divorce from his wife of more than thirty years  and
his retirement from the New York legal firm where he was a partner  Jules Epstein has felt an
overwhelming need to give away everything he owns  alarming his children and perplexing the
executor of his estate. With the last of his wealth  he travels to Israel in search of
something he can create in memory of his parents. In Tel Aviv  he is sidetracked by an American
rabbi planning a reunion for the descendants of King David who insists that Epstein is part of
that storied dynastic line. He also meets the rabbi's daughter  who convinces Epstein to become
involved in her film about the life of David being shot in the desert. But Epstein isn't the
only seeker embarking on a metaphysical journey that dissolves his sense of self  place  and
history. Leaving her family in Brooklyn  a young  well-known novelist arrives at the Tel Aviv
Hilton  where she has stayed every year since birth. Struggling to begin a new book  and
troubled by a failing marriage  she hopes that the hotel can unlock a dimension of reality that
has been closed off to her. But when she meets a retired literature professor who proposes a
project she can't turn down  she's drawn into a mystery that alters her life in ways she could
never have imagined.
