This is a work of fiction about a woman's transition -- from Ilana Davita Dinn to Davita Dinn to I. D. Chandal. She is the listener to whom three old men relate their lives: As Ilana Davita Dinn, she hears "The Ark Builder, " the story of an old, proud Jewish builder of synagogue arks, and what happened when the German army invaded his Polish town. As Davita Dinn she hears the story of "The War Doctor, " who saves a young man during the Russian civil war of 1918-1920, and many decades later, is brought up on charges of involvement in the Kremlin's doctors' plot. And finally, we meet her again in "The Trope Teacher, " in which a professor of warfare, trying to write his memoirs, is interrupted by his wife's illness and by the arrival in his life of his neighbor, a writer, I. D. Chandal.
Poignant and profound, Chaim Potok's newest fiction is a major addition to his remarkable -- and remarkable loved -- body of work.
