Paperback. Condition: New. "Pulaski has a gift for combining the lyrical with the earthy."-The New York Times Book ReviewAs Jack Pulaski is returned to the fiction of his life in the novel Chekhov was a Doctor, he's more than surprised, but not shocked to recognize that an essential aspect of a returning obsession has pulled him back-or propelled him forward. He is only interested in the "creative process" inasmuch as it is a story. A love story.A protagonist discovering the terms of his life, which are the always-to-be-discovered requirements of his art: a peculiar virginal state, more promising than Candide's dogmatic optimism; he is humbled before something that feels like fate; his helplessly attentive self, like the story about to unfold, a thing in itself.Pulaski is of necessity a slow learner, incapable of trusting illustrative thematic questions; his only option is to travel with the protagonists-Davy and Elena-to see what he can see. They bear unmistakable affinities with Laura and Isaac, the lovers in his previous novel, Courting Laura Providencia. Still, the souls of Elena and Davy are their own, as is their adventure and what they enact hopefully will provide the author with further education and the reader with a tale of significant ambition.Jack Pulaski grew up in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York. His stories have appeared in journals such as The Iowa Review, Ohio Review and Ploughshares, as well as in two anthologies: The Pushcart Prize I and The Ploughshares Reader. He is the recipient of a fiction award from the Coordinating Council of Literary Magazines, and his stories have twice been singled out for high praise in the Nelson Algren Short Fiction Contest. Pulaski currently lives in Vermont.

Paperback. Condition: New. Puerto Rican, Russian-Jewish, and Italian cultures collide in homage both to the art and form of the novel, as well as to the passions and histories that fuel our American lives. Pulaski's prose boxes through the surreal and banal. The novel weaves the maelstrom of immigrant life in post WWII New York, and the terrifying solitude of Alzheimer's cloaked beneath Vermont winters, into a fable where the sacred and the profane are inextricably wed. Courting Laura Providencia is a literary devotional.Laura said she was sure he was the father, packed up her things, and moved out of the apartment. She had been cheerful as she collected her belongings. She said Isaac was the sweetest boy she had ever known, and "a rare thing, muy singular, a Jewish drunk." Isaac wanted to say that was not exactly right, but he was drunk at the time and so he sang to her. Laura snapped the suitcase shut, settled herself in a chair, smiled, and let him sing. For a moment Isaac was stunned. It happened often looking straight into the face of Laura Providencia could cause amnesia, sleepwalking, and archaic longings which might require several lifetimes to understand. He had seen it happen to others.Jack Pulaski was born and grew up in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York. His stories have appeared in The Iowa Review, Ohio Review, Ploughshares, MSS., and The New England Review, as well as in two anthologies: The Pushcart Prize I and The Ploughshares Reader.

Paperback. Condition: New. Set in the immigrant streets and tenements of Brooklyn, Jack Pulaski's stories sparkle with incident, character, memory, and a touch of the surreal. In "Religious Instruction," a widowed scripture teacher channels her passion into a retelling of the primal stories of the bible that transixes her adolescent students: "When she marries again we will not hear these stories, not the same way." "Music Story" sketches a chilling portrait of urban ethnic territoriality, while in "Father of the Bride," a young Jew pursues the skeptical, profane and eccentric Carlos, seeking his daughter's hand."Get the book and read it. And then shower copies on everyone you know who still enjoys moving his or her eyes from left to right."-Sven Birkerts."Jack Pulaski has his turf, and the talent to work it."-Andrei Codrescu.
