Don't let this book get away from you. There is a gem within its pages called, The Bris. This short story is my 2008 best pick read of the entire year. I have reread this short story a dozen times this year and each time I am left stunned. It is a love story between a son and his father that surpasses love's boundaries. It is written with such clarity and smoothness it is a treat to read. It is a keeper. I will read this story every year for the rest of my life. As a father and a son I only hope I can love this well.
