Literary Nonfiction. Jewish Studies. In EXILE AND RETURN, the author re-creates the ancient telling of the Passover story based on his lifelong academic interest in comparative religion and longtime experience with Zen. "Listen to this tale that I first heard from my grandmother, who heard it from hers who had heard it from her grandmother and so on all the way back to as far back as anyone can remember. I hope I get it right, just the way I heard it, not adding and not subtracting, just telling."
