As a biographical entity, there is similarly no limit. Beautiful, unflinching, pushing the limits of emotional accuracy in language. I was *shocked*. ( )
Part of the fascination of "A Diving Rock on the Hudson" is that it is a deliberately unflattering self-portrait of the garrulity and narcissism of old age. This is something we haven't seen before in literature, and if for no other reason, it is valuable as the speech of a tribe until now silenced. (...) Clearly, this is a different order of work from "Call It Sleep" and must be read with different standards. "Call It Sleep" remains a masterpiece; nothing is lost from it, or added to it, by reading its sequels. Contenido enListas de sobresalientes
A boy contemplates suicide from a diving rock on the Hudson River after being expelled from school for stealing. Ira Stigman has squandered years of sacrifice by his parents, poor Jewish immigrants. Instead of ending his life, however, he decides to start anew, enrolls in another school and goes to university. The setting is New York in the 1920s.
