Title: wonderful,lyrical and sweet
Review: Mr. name is asher lev tells the story of a young Chasidic Jew in Brooklyn who is beginning his lifelong oodyssey of artitic longing and adventure. His parents being good pious people are at times mystified and eventually mortified at the result of his art. Mr. Potok is perhaps my favorite novvelist because he writes ,so well, about things that matter:God,life, children and parents,art fun and love.In this book{which though it stands by itself, should be read with its sequal, THE GIFT OF ASHER LEV},Mr. Potok gets will ionto the creative mind. Asher Lev is faced with the torturous decision of art or conscience{well, family}. His decision and the conclusion remind one of Marc Chagalls white crucifixion. Superb writing,excellent story.
