Descriere Wedding at the Graveyard: And Other Stories of the Jewish Fantastical - Nilton Bonder

\nFor four decades Rabbi Bonder was immersed in spirituality and sought out by people who needed comfort. He has now transformed some of these cases into fiction.\n \n \n \nA Romanian woman, resident of Copacabana, wants to marry her dead fiancé. The discovery of a manuscript from the Inquisition, written to defame a woman, has the power to awaken lust and perversion in whomever reads it. A boy who scares his parents with paranormal powers prepares for his bar mitzvah. \n \n \n \nThese are the subjects of Nilton Bonder's imagination in this collection of short stories. He writes in the tradition of the best of Isaac Bashevis Singer.\n \n \n \nEach story comes from a place bordering reality with the unusual and inexplicable, revealing the little that's required to transform the ordinary into extraordinary. With starting points from real situations (including the author himself as a young man, seriously bored in the house of Abraham Joshua Heschel), each story moves into another reality.\n \n \n \nPreviously published in Portuguese.\n \n\n \n \nFor four decades Rabbi Bonder was immersed in spirituality and sought out by people who needed comfort.
