Four Meals

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Four Meals is the extraordinary story of Zayde; his enigmatic mother, Judith; and her three lovers, Globerman, Jacob, and Moshe. Over the course of four meals, which take place intermittently over several decades, Zayde slowly comes to understand why these three men consider him their son and why all three participate in raising him. A virtuoso performance of spellbinding storytelling, Shalev's novel is a deeply satisfying read -- sensuous, hilarious, compassionate, and profound. "[A]s though the Song of Solomon had been rewritten by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.... A master class in the storyteller's art." -- The Daily Telegraph (London) "A book full of riddles, of love and sorrow, melancholy, feather light and deep with thought." -- Die Welt (Germany)
