"An irresistible mix of humor, beautiful writing and clear-eyed observations, a cracking read." - Whether fighting an interloping bear in his basement with his father and their know-it-all neighbor; leading his irascible grandmother on a hair-raising tour of Old Jerusalem; giving a bar mitzvah speech after a morning of psychedelic drugs; or dreaming of invading lobsterwomen and alien body snatchers who may or may not be real, Myron confronts the unexpected contingencies of life with humor, pathos, and, yes, even some speculative meanings for the reader. From Hollywood to Canada, from the Grand Canyon and Jerusalem to the childhood apartment where it all began, he asks the question we all ask ourselves - "What's it all about?" Myron will make you laugh, he'll make you cry, he'll make you wish he would see a shrink!
