Synopsis

A Lost Giant, Reimagined. With his new historical novel, ALL MAN’S LAND, D. Laszlo Conhaim mounts a vigorous tribute to Paul Robeson—singer, actor, activist, lawyer, athlete, author. A controversial renaissance man who for five decades sang and spoke to the world, today this titan of the 20th century is all but forgotten. Mostly fiction, but combining elements of memoir and biography, in ALL MAN'S LAND Conhaim rediscovers his own manuscript of thirty years ago that speaks volumes to today’s America. It’s the story of Benjamin Neill, a former slave and decorated Civil War hero who rides into a frontier town with a sack of books, a gift for song, and a powerful message. Here is a modern take on the singing cowboy—only Benjamin Neill is as able with a spiritual as he is with a Hebrew chant. Those who don’t know him, fear him. Those who know him, fear him even more. By his trials, we will know him. ALL MAN'S LAND is a uniquely American story about the fight for racial and social justice.

About the Author:

Born in Minneapolis in 1968, D. László Conhaim's new novel is All Man's Land, the story of an ex-slave who seeks justice from the lawman who once owned him. Conhaim's first professional writing credit was a two-part 1986 interview in LosAngeles and Tokyo with Japanese film legend Toshiro Mifune (forMinnesota weekly City Pages). In 1995, Conhaim co-founded The Prague Revue, the longest-running literary journal to serve the community of international writers in Prague. For TPR, he wrote a fictional remembrance of Miguel de Unamuno, "Feeling intoDon Miguel," which Gore Vidal "read with delight" and Alexander Zaitchik (Rolling Stone, The Nation) called "masterful" in Think Magazine. In 1999, TPR Books published his corresponding novel of mythomania in Spain, Autumn Serenade. In 2017, he published Comanche Captive (Gale/Cengage), a novel whose sequel will publish in 2021. Conhaim lives in Israel.
