The Urban Man:
Each week on National
Public Radio station KCRW, on iTunes and on KCRW.com, The Urban Man sets
out to fathom modern life—he cruises its cluttered boulevards and shows up
at its TV shoots; he sleeps in its picture-perfect mini-mansions, takes
meetings in its glittering office towers, and goes looking for a glimpse
of the moon up among the billboards and power lines. Along the way, he
tries to figure out what it all means. |

If You Save One Life by
Eva Brown, 148 pps, $15.95 6x9 Deluxe Trade Paperback “Point a finger,” said the American soldier, “at the one who made you look like a skeleton.” That sentence marks the end of a nightmare and a moment of moral clarity for Eva Brown, who survived Auschwitz and lost sixty members of her extended family in the Holocaust. Born into a close and loving Jewish home, Brown saw her idyllic childhood end at age 16, when Nazi troops invaded the small Hungarian town where her father was a rabbi. In If You Save One Life Brown vividly describes how she endured through faith, determination, and her sheer will to survive. |
