Book Description
Sitting with her legs all wrapped under her, dressed in diver casual, her long blond hair pinned up on the back of her neck, she was every bit a diver. The reader first meets this newest member of a group working in the harbor at Caesarea Maritima. "My friends all call me by my nickname," she introduced herself. "I consider you friends, so you should too. I'm C." Dr. Avnir Raban of Haifa University, in pursuing his life's ambition of proving the existence of an archaeological site known as Strato's Tower, has convened a team of some of the world's finest marine archaeologists exploring the harbor. C has joined her new dive partner in the quest. C, however, has an unusual interest, not shared by Raban or her dive partner--an interest in the Aleppo Codex. The Jewish community of Aleppo, Syria, has maintained the Aleppo Codex, the earliest copy of the Hebrew Bible known to exist, intact for the past five hundred years. Now, the codex, having been recently smuggled into Israel, is missing two hundred pages. Israel wants the pages back.

Conversations with Tim Gautreaux
Author: L. Lamar Nisly
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1628468114
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
Louisiana writer Tim Gautreaux (b. 1947) writes fiction that mixes equal parts dry humor, tall tales, and deep tragedy. His stories and novels of working-class Acadiana portray lives of inimitably poignant love, loss, and longing. The depth and complexity of Gautreaux's writing invite scholarly appraisals as well, as critics mine the richness of his moral vision. These interviews reveal the intensity of his sense of place, his deep connection to the mechanical and working world, his commitment to the craft of writing, and his Catholic view that has been shaped by Flannery O'Connor and Walker Percy. Conversations with Tim Gautreaux collects interviews from 1993 to 2009 with the author of The Missing, The Clearing, Welding with Children, and many other vital works of fiction. Readers who have been engaged with the themes in his stories and novels will find themselves equally taken with the kind and thoughtful voice they discover in interviews.
