選ばれし者 (バーニス・ルーベンス選集 3)
Set in an East End Jewish family, the novel follows Norman Zweck, once the bright hope of the household, as drug addiction and hallucinations pull him and the people around him into a tangle of guilt, love, and fear. Serious in subject but darkly comic in tone, it is a sharp portrait of family pressure and emotional damage.
