Lovesong:
Becoming a
Jew
by Julius Lester |
|
|
Lovesong is the moving account of a life and
spiritual odyssey, of a major writer's path
from his boyhood as the son of a black
Methodist minister in the South to his
conversion to Judaism. This is the story of
Julius Lester's life as he wrestles with the
hard and often painful issues faced by so many
people: coming to terms with his father; his
own identity; marriage and divorce and single
parenthood. Lovesong is equally a powerful
picture of Lester's spiritual struggles, in
which he poignantly portrays his early
encounters with faith in the figure of his
father, his earliest recollections of the pull
of Judaism, the South before the Civil Rights
Movement, the impact of that movement, and his
eventual conversion to Judaism.
