'The Chosen'

Hello fellow readers/ art lovers! I do appreciate that it's been a while-school has been intense as always. I found the time, though, to blog about a recent piece of prose I was recommended, called 'The Chosen', by Chaim Potok. Now, most of you may have known this author, some simply because he's a bestseller, others because he is a conservative rabbi who studied psychology and writes beautifully, and others that he is an anti-orthodox Jew. Whatever your opinion on this controversial genius, I would like to highlight the fact that his work is outstanding. 'The Chosen', a story on friendship and the hardships of religious conflict deals with youth and adolescence in such a beautiful manner...It led me to tears. For a book to draw out powerful emotion is quite something. I think Chaim Potok is so unbelievably talented. Please read the book, if you have time. If you're a history lover, because you'll learn so much on the history of the Jews in the late 19th century and early 20th, if you're a romantic because of Danny's inclinations and Reuven's confusion, if you're a zionist, if you're a lover of the Jews, if you're a hater of the Jews, if you like to read, if you're bored, if you're a boy, if you're a girl...just read the book, regardless of any trait you might have. It's really something. Stay tuned for more incompetent comments on art and literature.
