"Andy
Plotkin’s powerful first book, The Red Sox and The
Devil’s Handmaiden, is a tribute to a Jew’s faith in his
own g-dliness.
|
| This
book, written in the genre of magical realism, weaves together
biblical characters into the present day society, in a clever
story about the fate of the Red Sox World Series. Steve, the
Jewish protagonist, was given a challenge by the devil. Only
through his heartfelt prayers could there possibly by a chance
to not only reverse the decree, but to bring light into this
world. |
|
Andy Plotkin, the son of the famous artist Edna Hibel and
CEO of Edna Hibel Corp in his own right, emphasizes Jewish
themes, historical contexts, and simply a fun story that
can be used as a spring board for discussion groups, lunch
& learns, and seminars.
The constant insights of the protagonist is just one of
the reasons why you’ll want to keep turning the pages to
find out what happens in The Red Sox and The Devil’s
Handmaiden." |
