THE BOOK OF JOB: WHEN BAD THINGS HAPPENED TO A GOOD PERSON
KUSHNER, HAROLD
The story of Job is one of unjust things happening to a good man. Yet after losing everything, Job—though
confused, angry, and questioning God—refuses to reject his faith, although he challenges some central aspects
of it, and is rewarded with abundant good fortune. Rabbi Kushner examines the questions raised by Job's
experience, questions that have challenged wisdom-seekers and worshippers for centuries. What kind of God
permits such bad things to happen to good people? Why does He test his followers? Can a deeply good God be
all-powerful? Rooted in the text, the critical tradition that surrounds it, and his own profoundly moral thinking,
Kushner's study gives us the book of Job as a lodestone for our time, teaching us about what can and cannot be
controlled, about the power of faith when all seems dark, and about our ability to find God where we look for him.

BOTH FLESH AND NOT
WALLACE, DAVID FOSTER
Beloved for his epic agony, brilliantly discerning eye, and hilarious and constantly self-questioning tone, David
Foster Wallace was heralded by both critics and fans as the voice of a generation. BOTH FLESH AND NOT
gathers 15 essays never published in book form, including "Federer Both Flesh and Not," considered by many to
be his nonfiction masterpiece; "The (As it Were) Seminal Importance of Terminator 2," which deftly dissects
James Cameron's blockbuster; and "Fictional Futures and the Conspicuously Young," an examination of
television's effect on a new generation of writers.
