With the publication of Elijah Visible, Thane Rosenbaum emerged as a fresh and important new voice on the American literary scene, a young writer in the great Jewish storytelling tradition of Isaac Bashevis Singer and Isaac Babel. In this haunting debut, Rosenbaum weaves together nine postmodern tales about Adam Posner, a young man determined to climb the American corporate ladder, who finds himself paralyzed by he legacy of the Holocaust. Encumbered by the psychic screams of his deceased parents, Posner embodies the disintegration, as well as the spiritual search, of the modern Jewish family. Rosenbaum's stunning portrait of the post-Holocaust world will resonate with contemporary readers of all backgrounds.

"Anyone concerned with the decay of Diaspora Judaism should read these stories, for Rosenbaum shows great skill and sensitivity in depicting the aftermath." --Henry Roth, author of Call It Sleep
"A remarkable and original collection of short fiction." --The Baltimore Sun
"The nine stories of Thane Rosenbaum's Elijah Visible make for a noteworthy literary debut--not only because they introduce a distinctive voice to American Jewish fiction, but also because they represent a significant shift in how stories of the Holocaust can be told in and for our time." --Sanford Pinsker, The Forward
