    Abstract: One of America's most important novelists (New York Times), the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of The History of Love, conjures an achingly beautiful and breathtakingly original novel about personal transformation that interweaves the stories of two disparate individuals, an older lawyer and a young novelist, whose transcendental search leads them to the same Israeli desert. Jules Epstein, a man whose drive, avidity, and outsized personality have, for sixty-eight years, been a force to be reckoned with, is undergoing a metamorphosis. In the wake of his parents' deaths, his divorce from his wife of more than thirty years, and his retirement from the New York legal firm where he was a partner, he's felt an irresistible need to give away his possessions, alarming his children and perplexing the executor of his estate. With the last of his wealth, he travels to Israel, with a nebulous plan to do something to honor his parents. In Tel Aviv, he is sidetracked by a charismatic American rabbi planning a reunion for the descendants of King David who insists that Epstein is part of that storied dynastic line. He also meets the rabbi's beautiful daughter who convinces Epstein to become involved in her own project, a film about the life of David being shot in the desert, with life-changing consequences. But Epstein isn't the only seeker embarking on a metaphysical journey that dissolves his sense of self, place, and history. Leaving her family in Brooklyn, a young, well-known novelist arrives at the Tel Aviv Hilton where she has stayed every year since birth. Troubled by writer's block and a failing marriage, she hopes that the hotel can unlock a dimension of reality, and her own perception of life, that has been closed off to her. But when she meets a retired literature professor who proposes a project she can't turn down, she's drawn into a mystery that alters her life in ways she could never have imagined. Bursting with life and humor, Forest Dark is a profound, mesmerizing novel of metamorphosis and self-realization, of looking beyond all that is visible towards the infinite

    Abstract: Wissend, dass hinter der Autorin des Bestsellers "Die Geschichte der Liebe" eine Scheidung liegt, liest sich das Leiden an sich, am Schreiben und Nichtschreibenkönnen, die Suche nach innerer Heimat der Ich-Erzählerin Nicole zwangsläufig autobiografisch. Im Nachdenken zieht sie in geheime Bewusstseins-Nischen, im Zentrum der Kindheits-Ferienort, das Hilton in Tel Aviv, ein "Monolith", der ihr zur Metapher wird. Erst langsam baut sich Verstehen auf, warum es auch den 68-jährigen amerikanischen Millionär Epstein dorthin getrieben hat, auch er nun ehelos, in Metamorphose. Mit ungeheurer Erzählkraft, in berückenden Sätzen, verweben sich Ebenen, ohne sich zu berühren, eingeschlossen eine fantastische Geschichte um Kafkas Nachleben in Israel. Während Nicole in Kafkas Wüstenhütte in alten Büchern frühere Wälder Israels betrachtet, machen Epsteins Setzlinge eine Wüste zum Wald...
