Topols novel, in sparse yet poetic languageagilely brought into English by the authors longtime translator Alex Zuckerweaves together the brutal and disturbing fates of an addict, a shopkeeper, and a religious fanatic as they each follow the path they hope will lead them to serenity drugs, money, and faith.
