About the Author
In his checkered, dappled, and piebald career as an immensely learned scholar of language and the human heart, Noah Jacobs managed to include a role as Chief of the American translation staff at the Nuremburg trials. The author of a number of severe scholarly works as well, he now lives chiefly in Vienna and Jerusalem.
