Synopsis
Following a life-changing accident that left him paralyzed at age 51, Arthur Ullian began to realize that not only did life in a wheelchair make him feel “different,” but he had always felt like an outsider to some degree, having grown up Jewish in the elite WASP world of prep schools, cotillion classes, sailing yachts, and restricted clubs. He also came to see that over the course of his life he had, paradoxically, internalized the prevailing Christian view of the “Jewish character” and unconsciously attempted to replicate the social and material trappings of those who excluded him. In Matthew, Mark, Luke, John… and Me - a thoughtful, historically-grounded, and often humorous memoir - he interweaves personal experience with an exploration of the roots of ethnic stereotypes and antisemitism, ending with reasons to hope that historic Jewish–Christian enmities will fade and brotherhood eventually prevail.
