A Masterpiece.'The New York Times Book Review (editor's choice)In The Ruined House a small harmless modicum of vanity turns into an apocalyptic bonfire. Shot through with humor and mystery and insight, Ruby Namdar's wonderful first novel examines how the real and the unreal merge. It's a daring study of madness, masculinity, mythmaking and the human fragility that emerges in the mix.'Colum McCann, National Book Awardwinning author of Let the Great World SpinWinner of the Sapir Prize, Israels highest literary awardPicking up the mantle of legendary authors such as Saul Bellow and Philip Roth, an exquisite literary talent makes his debut with a nuanced and provocative tale of materialism, tradition, faith, and the search for meaning in contemporary American life.Andrew P.
