My Name Is Asher Lev

Asher Lev is the artist who painted the sensational ‘Brooklyn Crucifixion’.

Into it he poured all the anguish and torment a Jew can feel when torn between the faith of his fathers and the calling of his art.

Here Asher Lev plunges back into his childhood and recounts the story of love and conflict which dragged him to this crossroads.

Chaim Potok, author of The Chosen and The Promise, has once again demonstrated his perfect mastery of the novel.
