I watched the documentary “Jacob” with my family, and damn, what a guy. Per the movie synopsis:
“He's a doctor, a lawyer, a bioethicist, a college professor, a licensed New York City tour guide, a poet, a playwright, an award-winning novelist, a devoted son and a true friend. In this upbeat documentary profile meet the most prolific, most accomplished, least boastful person in America.” I mean... he taught creating writing at Gotham City Writers while commuting into NYC from Boston, because he was IN LAW SCHOOL at Harvard. What??
So I thought I would read one of his books of short stories. He's no Raymond Carver but yeah, definitely not bad. They say God doesn't give with two hands; I guess in this case, God gives with ten?
