First published in 1964, Seymour Epstein's LEAH received immediate acclaim. Montemayor Press is proud to reissue this classic novel in a new edition. Leah is a significant achievement in many ways: as a portrait of a thoughtful woman searching for love; as a vivid description of mid-Twentieth Century Manhattan; as an understated masterpiece of urban fiction; and as a male author's remarkable exploration of a female character's psyche-an exploration as successful in its own way as Flaubert's of Emma Bovary and as Tolstoy's of Anna Karenina.

Superior psychological profiles,
By Jackie Dial (jdial@medicalink.com) (Boulder, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leah (Jps Gems of American Jewish Literature Series) (Paperback)
I found this book in my old bedroom while engaging in a hankering for fiction. It more than met my expectations, which had been somewhat blunted by a recent diet of newspaper articles and science fiction. The author not only handles words enticingly, in the manner of one who expects literacy of his readers; he adds such dimension to characters that one can no longer countenance the 2D variety that so often passes for adequacy in these times. I salute his talent, and also wonder if he is the same as (or the father of) Seymour Epstein, the cognitive psychologist. --an admiring psychologist

Leah/Seymour Epstein,
By A Customer
This review is from: Leah (Jps Gems of American Jewish Literature Series) (Paperback)
Like Jackie Dial, I'm still moved by "Leah." I met Seymour Epstein only once, 1n 1978, after he awarded my first novel first place in a national writing contest. I loved his books and felt as if he were writing what Roth wanted to. Like Jackie, I'd like to know if the other Seymour is a junior and if/what Seymour senior is writing today. bhearn@pacbell.net
