Ilana Davita Dinn, a "listener," records the lives of three very different Jewish men--"The Ark Builder," "The War Doctor," and "The Trope Teacher."
Review:
"OLD MEN AT MIDNIGHT is an uncomfortable book to read, and not only because its central characters live through some of the most brutal periods of the last century. It is peopled by irascible, evasive figures who seem to remain closed to the reader....[Potok's] book asks the reader to consider the parts, not trust the whole. And if it is approached in this way, OLD MEN AT MIDNIGHT holds many rewards."
Rachel Seiffert, New York Times Book Review, 11/04/2001

Book Description: Random House USA Inc, United States, 2002. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 208 x 142 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. From the celebrated author of The Chosen and My Name Is Asher Lev, a trilogy of related novellas about a woman whose life touches three very different men--stories that encompass some of the profoundest themes of the twentieth century. Ilana Davita Dinn is the listener to whom three men relate their lives. As a young girl, she offers English lessons to a teenage survivor of the camps. In "The Ark Builder," he shares with her the story of his friendship with a proud old builder of synagogue arks, and what happened when the German army invaded their Polish town. As a graduate student, she finds herself escorting a guest lecturer from the Soviet Union, and in "The War Doctor," her sympathy moves him to put his painful past to paper recounting his experiences as a Soviet NKVD agent who was saved by an idealistic doctor during the Russian civil war, only to encounter him again during the terrifying period of the Kremlin doctors' plot. And, finally, we meet her in "The Trope Teacher," in which a distinguished professor of military history, trying to write his memoirs, is distracted by his wife's illness and by the arrival next door of a new neighbor, the famous writer I. D. (Ilana Davita) Chandal. Poignant and profound, Chaim Potok's newest fiction is a major addition to his remarkable--and remarkably loved--body of work. "From the Hardcover edition.".
