After the publication of his first novel,
The Bohemians-hailed as "stunning"
by The New York Times and found "erotic
and wickedly funny" by The Washington
Post-Alan Cheuse was heralded as an
important and resounding new voice in
fiction. Now, as the comments on the back
jacket attest, Mr. Cheuse follows with an
even more astonishing novel.
The unlikely setting for The Grandmothers
Club is a neighborhood soda fountain,
where, over a succession of meetings, Mrs.
Bloch, the elderly mother of a powerful
former rabbi turned businessman, reveals to
her friend the disquieting saga of her son s
life. The reader hears of Emmanuel Bloch s
dramatic rise from the ghetto and his sub-
sequent fall-struck down by desires that he
cannot control and women whom he can-
not understand.
But the book is far more than the story of
one man, one mother s son-it is a broad
study of the human character and human
spirit, laced with wisdom and comic obser-
vation. The book s epic proportions, and the
energy of its narrative, immediately qualify
it as a tour de force.
