Novelist Ben Gonshor joins "The Shmooze" to talk about his debut novel, "The Book of Izzy." The book’s main character, Izzy, is a writer at wit’s end in life and on the verge of a complete breakdown with his career in wedding planning. Following an encounter with a mysterious bird seemingly visible only to him, he agrees to take on the leading role in an amateur production of the greatest play in all of the Yiddish theater: "The Dybbuk," a gothic tale of destiny, possession, and the triumph of love over all. In conversation with Ben we talk about the many layers of Izzy and the book’s underlying narrative. Episode 379 August 27, 2024 Amherst, MA
