(Taking the age-old story of the rape of King David's only...)
Taking the age-old story of the rape of King David's only daughter by her brother Amnon as his theme, Dan Jacobson retells this Biblical tale adding new vigour and vitality. He creates a powerful and tragic novel - with a dark and underlying humour throughout to serve as a chilling reminder of the ancient lore. On first publication, The Rape of Tamar was hailed as a masterpiece.

(First published in the 1950s, these stories are set in So...)
First published in the 1950s, these stories are set in South Africa and concern the black-white confrontation there, describing the society from an artistic rather than a journalistic view-point. The central characters are seemingly ordinary people who become involved in incidents which they fail understand, but yet recognize the parts they must play. Both stories dramatize confrontation - between husband and wife, the boss and his boy and between black and white. The author was born in Johannesburg and grew up in Kimberley, South Africa. He has lived in London since the mid-1950s but has revisited South Africa several times.

(Kenneth Makeer - intelligent, South African and black - t...)
Kenneth Makeer - intelligent, South African and black - travels to London to study law where he meets a fellow South African - a white girl - whom he eventually marries. Yet mixed marriages are outlawed in the Union, and so when they return home they come face to face with racial intolerance and hatred at its most brutal. This is a passionate, harrowing and dramatic story, written at a time of deep racial tensions, which hurtles towards its ugly and untimely conclusion.

(“Voices are a soul’s signature,” says psychologist Dan Sh...)
“Voices are a soul’s signature,” says psychologist Dan Shapiro, who in his daily practice hears plenty of them. For all his expertise, he admits he’s still terrified that “someone will keep something from me, and when they tell me the truth, I’ll be useless.” Treating other physicians has become one of Shapiro’s specialties. When the obstetrician Amelia Sorvino seeks his help—distraught that her own medical error could have injured a patient’s baby— Shapiro finds his talents as counselor and healer pushed to their limits. Session by session, he works to discover the sources of Amelia’s anguish--for his own sake as much as hers: he’s familiar with the burden of a doctor’s guilt, and he has seen how loss and trauma, if unchecked, can echo from generation to generation in a family. In this probing, intensely personal memoir, the words “Physician, heal thyself” assume a fresh and moving urgency.
