The Birth of a Mother: How the Motherhood Experience Changes You Forever

Daniel Stern; Daniel N. Stern; Alison Freeland; Nadia Bruschweiler-Stern

According to Dr. Stern, when a woman gives birth to a child, she becomes a different person--her mind-set shifts and she finds that she is guided by new hopes, fears, and priorities. Dr. Stern has interviewed hundreds of women, and in this book he uses his findings to paint a wonderfully evocative picture of the psychology of motherhood. This book will serve as an invaluable sourcebook for new mothers, validating the often confusing emotions that accompany the development of their new identity. In addition to providing insight into the unique state of motherhood, Dr. Stern touches on related topics such as going back to work, fatherhood, adoption, and premature birth.

The Suicide Academy

Daniel Stern

Imagine a place where you can go to decide whether you wish to live or die. And you have exactly twenty-four hours to decide. Through one devastating, snowy New Year's Day, Wolf Walker, the director of The Suicide Academy, struggles to survive - goaded by his black, subtly anti-Semitic assistant Gilliatt, and thrown by the arrival of Jewel, his beautiful gentile ex-wife, and her lover. It is a story the San Francisco Chronicle calls "so free of the obvious, so profoundly amusing and amusingly profound".

The Rose Rabbi

Daniel Stern

Wolf Walker (the hero of Stern's previous novel The Suicide Academy) is now an ethical adviser to the Lester & French Advertising Agency. He survives in a mad world - a few years into the future - where the Pope has resigned, the Chateau Wars are raging in Europe, and the thousands of hunger strikes ravage the streets of America's cities. Convinced that his faulty memory is a kind of continuing suicide, Wolf sets out to recover a past for himself that will redeem his present. On his fortieth birthday, he searches out and confronts the dramatis personae of his life and forces them into wild, funny, and touching reconstructions: an experiment in combining life and art. The Rose Rabbi is a dramatic and comic meditation on the nature of art and the struggle between ethical life and raw daily experience.

Twice upon a Time: Stories

Daniel Stern

Twice Upon a Time is author Daniel Stern's second literary adventure in weaving fresh modern tales from the thematic threads of great texts of the past. His new collection focuses on some classic favorites - "Bartleby the Scrivener" by Herman Melville and "A Hunger Artist" by Franz Kafka - and turns them upside down with enchanting results. Pushing the boundaries even further, two famous poems by Wallace Stevens, "Sunday Morning" and "The Man with the Blue Guitar", draw forth stories both rueful and comic. And, as Eastern Europe was crumbling, Stern was inspired to write a novella of youth and lost illusions called "A Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels". Several years ago, Daniel Stern began this brilliantly inventive literary journey with the acclaimed Twice Told Tales. Now, these new, half-dozen, bold and witty variations prove once again that there are no real boundaries where books, ideas, lives, and loves are concerned.

Who Shall Live, Who Shall Die: A Novel

Daniel Stern

Amidst the lights and glamour of the New York theater district during the 1950s, two Holocaust survivors confront each other in order to reckon with a common past - one that hides an awful secret. Jud Kramer, a successful stage director, is in the midst of mounting his most painful and personal play while trying to enjoy the happiness he has found with his beautiful actress wife and baby daughter. Into his life comes Carl Walkowitz, a brooding, charismatic drifter who displays the scars of his concentration camp past in his wounded leg and half-closed eye. It is the relationship of these two men, one who lives in the past and the other trying to grasp hold of the present, that drives the story of Who Shall Live, Who Shall Die to its terrifying conclusion. Step by step, inexorably, Walkowitz strips Jud of everything dear to him, until finally, standing on an empty stage, the two men, with a woman between them, come face to face in a life-and-death struggle only one of them can survive.

Face to Face: Interviews With Contemporary Novelists

Daniel Stern; Allan Vorda

Just as writers of fiction offer new and interesting ways of looking at the world, the "literary" interview has evolved into an integral part of the process by providing a bridge not only between the author and the reader but between the fictional work and subsequent critical analysis. In Face to Face Allen Vorda offers the reader and in-depth look into the creative process of nine contemporary novelists. Interviews with such diverse writers as Robert Stone, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Marilynne Robinson cover not only the authors' work but also why they became writers, their writing habits, and opinions about other writers' books. Face To Face will appeal to readers of contemporary fiction as well as to literary critics and scholars.

After the War: A Novel

Daniel Stern

Set against the backdrop of New York City in the 1950s, After the War captures those exciting years when everyone was trying to make up for lost time. It was a time for experimentation, and returned World War II veteran Richard Stone deliberately erected a wall of "disconnectionism", pursued a rootless, Rilke-like existence in borrowed apartments, hocking the belongings for eating (and drinking) money. It was a time for intense living, and love: Richard's love affair with bewitching and bewildering Jemmy Gordon, only child of a celebrated war correspondent, is a masterpiece of enigma and surprise. But the years after the war were more than a time to revel in youth and love - they were haunted by the omnipresence of death - in the war and in the tragic legacy of the six million. Daniel Stern has the rare ability to probe the most serious subjects deeply, without compromise, while keeping his reader entertained. Out of the shared experience of Americans determinedly convalescing after the war, he has produced a memorable novel.
