The Reviews Are In...

"If any contemporary author deserves to wear the mantle of Jane Austen, it’s Goodman, whose subtle, astute social comedies perfectly capture the quirks of human nature. This dazzling novel [The Cookbook Collector] . . . is Goodman’s most robust, fully realized and trenchantly meaningful work yet." –Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

"Appeared like an answer to a fevered prayer…Part academic farce, part metaphysical romance, all novel of ideas, 36 Arguments for the Existence of God may not settle the question of whether God exists but it does affirm the phenomenon of literary miracles." –Fresh Air from WHYY

"Brilliant, well-researched, and sure to be controversial, The Rebbe is the most important biography of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson ever to appear."   
–Jonathan D. Sarna, author of American Judaism: A History
