JULES EPSTEIN IS UNDERGOING A TRANSFORMATION

It began in the wake of his parents' death, when he divorced his wife of over thirty-five years, retired from his legal firm, and started rapidly shedding the possessions he'd spent a lifetime accumulating. With the last of his wealth and a nebulous plan, he departs New York for the Tel Aviv Hilton.

Meanwhile, a novelist leaves her husband and children behind in Brooklyn and checks in to the same hotel, hoping that the view of the pool she used to swim in on childhood holidays will unlock her writer's block. But when a man claiming to be a retired professor of literature recruits her for a project involving Kafka, she is drwan in to a mystery that will change her life in ways she could never have imagined.

Bursting with life and humour, this is a novel of metamorphosis and self-realisation - of looking beyond all that is visible towards the infinite.

JULES EPSTEIN EFECTUAZA O TRANSFORMARE A inceput dupa moartea parintilor sai, cand a divortat de sotia sa de peste treizeci si cinci de ani, s-a retras de la firma sa de avocatura si a inceput sa renunte rapid la bunurile pe care le petrecuse o viata acumuland. Cu ultimul din averea sa si un plan nebulos, el pleaca din New York spre Tel Aviv Hilton. Intre timp, un romancier isi lasa sotul si copiii in urma in Brooklyn si se inscrie in acelasi hotel, sperand ca vederea la piscina pe care o folosea sa inoate in vacantele copilariei va debloca blocul scriitorului ei.
