The Other Man's Shoes

Abraham Rothberg

4.9/5 (30707 ratings)

Description:Compelling and brilliant in its sweep and contemporaneity, The Other Man's Shoes takes the reader on an exploration of America today—its present confusion, its heroic past, its underworlds of alienation, hatred, sexual obsession and violence. The hero of Abraham Rothberg's compulsively readable novel is Elliott Sanders, an American journalist returning home after many years overseas. His life has been saved by a friend during a terrorist attack in Saigon. He is obsessively determined to learn everything he can about the young man who died for him--but, beyond this, his deeper quest is to find his own roots, to learn, if he can, the reasons why he is the person he is. His search takes him deeply into the other man's life: to an involvement with the other man's best friend, an articulate, bitter, destructive black revolutionist; to an even more disturbing relationship with the other man's wife; to an unlikely friendship with the other man's father, a cold, harsh old soldier, whose hardness and courage strike an echo in Sanders' own longing for a simpler and more self-assured America. As he enters into the other man's past, trying to reconstruct the life of a young man he knew only fleetingly, Sanders' chase takes him through the unfamiliar landscape of a new America, to a love affair with a sexually liberated young hippie girl, into the world of the gay bars and hangouts, into the black ghettoes on the eve of the revolution, through demonstrations of the young political radicals. Each revelation, eve confrontation, leads him back to rediscovering his own past: his complex relationship with a remote and heroic father, whose death remains an enigma; the hopeless memory of his own wife, a beautiful young girl who cannot accept the physical love of the man she has married and turns, in self-destructive desperation, to a private world of despair…The Other Man's Shoes is a major novel by a gifted and deeply committed storyteller.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
