Description   Joshua Hammer Publisher: Hyperion Books "Written with sensitivity and insight, Chosen by God makes for compelling reading." --The Jewish Week This 1999 Los Angeles Times Book Award Finalist tells the extraordinary story of Joshua Hammer search to reconnect with his brother, Tony and his new existence as an ultra-orthodox Jew renamed Tuvia. Growing up in a non-religious household in Manhattan, Josh never conceived that Tony would end up in an arranged marriage and devoting his life to the Torah in a closed, cloistered world in which "outsiders" were not welcome. As Josh follows his brother's metamorphic path from a life-changing stay in Jerusalem through Tuvia's newfound religious fervor, he grows to better understand his brother, as well as "the most frightening and exotic territory for a foreign correspondent: his own family" (Dani Shapiro). "A wonderful debut by a superb journalist." --James McBride "A clear-eyed reckoning with the spirits of alienation and belonging that haunt our relations to our blood kin and to God." --Philip Gourevitch ABOUT THE AUTHOR Joshua Hammer, a long-time correspondent for Newsweek, covered sub-Saharan Africa and South America before accepting the post of Berlin Bureau Chief. He has also been a contributing writer for Harper's, Outside, and The New Republic. He lives in Berlin, Germany. Softcover ISBN:0786886013   Related Products...
