Francine Prose has a knack for getting to the heart of human nature. . . . We are allowed to enter the moral dilemmas of fascinating characters whose emotional lives are strung out by the same human frailties secrets and insecurities we all share. --USA Today One spring afternoon Vincent Nolan a young neo-Nazi walks into the office of a human rights foundation headed by Meyer Maslow a charismatic Holocaust survivor. Vincent announces that he wants to make a radical change. But what is Maslow to make of this rough-looking stranger with Waffen SS tattoos who says that his mission is to save guys like him from becoming guys like him As Vincent gradually turns into the sort of person who might actually be able to do that he also begins to transform everyone around him including Maslow himself. Masterfully plotted darkly comic A Changed Man poses essential questions about human nature morality and the capacity for change illuminating the everyday transactions both political and personal in our lives. This novel captures America at its most hilarious and dreadful. Here are characters as richly drawn as any in our fiction to date. And here is a work filled with such keen detail and emotional resonance that every page is a revelation. Francine Prose is one of a handful of truly indispensable American writers. At once funny scary and profound this novel offers a remarkable understanding of some of the darker recesses of human character--and it manages to convince you that people who are merely pretending to be brave sometimes actually are. This is one of Francine Prose's best books. Harper Collins Publishers, Inc hardcover
