Publisher's Note
Set in a working-class Brooklyn neighborhood in 1947, this tale revolves around an 11-year-old Irish Catholic boy named Michael Devlin and Rabbi Judah Hirsch, a refugee from Prague. For Michael, the rabbi's stories of ancient magic and wisdom captivate his imagination and transport him to times and places even his beloved comic book heroes have never visited. For the rabbi, Michael's patient instruction on the language of baseball and American culture opens up an equally strange world.
Industry reviews
"Although conventional in form, 'Snow in August' takes many risks, often approaching the brinks of sentimentality and cuteness without ever going over." New York Times - Christopher Lehmann-Haupt (05/01/1997) "Somewhere between the Brooklyns of Chaim Potok and Spike Lee lies Pete Hamill's brawling, brokenhearted borough, as gritty, sentimental, and ultimately optimistic as its creator....In his blunt, didactic, pleasing style, Mr. Hamill has told version of this story many times, in fiction and journalism. But in his new novel...Mr. Hamill adds magic. This time, salvation is not in the Dodgers and Jackie, it is in the kabbala and the golem....For all the violent set pieces...there is a wonderful sweetness to this novel." New York Times Book Review - Robert Lipsyte (05/04/1997)
