Little short of a work of genius.”—The New York Times Book Review\u003c\/b\u003e \n\n\n\nAsher Lev is a Ladover Hasid who keeps kosher, prays three times a day and believes in the Ribbono Shel Olom, the Master of the Universe. He grows up in a cloistered Hasidic community in postwar Brooklyn, a world suffused by ritual and revolving around a charismatic Rebbe. He is torn between two identities, the one consecrated to God, the other devoted only to art and his imagination, and in time, his artistic gift threatens to estrange him from that world and the parents he adores. \n\n\n\n As it follows his struggle, My Name Is Asher Lev becomes a luminous, visionary portrait of the artist, by turns heartbreaking and exultant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group, 2003","offers":[{"title":"My Name Is Asher Lev \/ Very Good","offer_id":52634189365540,"sku":"9781400031047VG","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_5eecd3c6-e7e4-4875-abde-8069a69c0225.jpg?v=1781792522","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9781400031047","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
