Finding Lenny
About
For retired professor, Lenny Isaacson, daily life has become predictable: walking his dog, reminiscing, and grappling with questions of living and dying. He longs for something more. But as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for.
Things begin to change when he encounters an enigmatic street person who keeps showing up in different guises. Then, a catastrophic event upends his life.
Routine has vanished, replaced with uncertainty and danger.
While struggling to manage this new reality, he is confronted with a potentially lethal situation.
How he faces the threat will lead him on a new, unimagined journey.
Praise for this book
For those uncovering life's multiple challenges--its uncertainties, its mysteries, its aging process--Witkin offers penetrating insights from a wide range of perspectives. His ability to capture and integrate interior and external phenomenon and experiences is quite remarkable.
Finding Lenny is an arresting and engaging novel that is powerfully thought provoking. I highly recommend this book.
PS If you are a fan of Leonard Cohen , you will receive an added bonus!
Usually books that cause you to think deeply about your world and relationships do not also keep you up at night unable to stop reading, turning pages because you have to know what happens next. This jewel of a book does that. Lenny is a person we would all want to be friends with — you know someone like him, but you do not always hear the depths of a friend’s soul and experience the choices that make his life meaningful. This book takes you there with such beautiful prose you feel uplifted and strengthened. A must read!
