A Curable Romantic

by Joseph Skibell and Joseph Skibell

Book Overview

I fell in love with Emma Eckstein the moment I saw her from the fourth gallery of the Carl Theater, and this was also the night I met Sigmund Freud." So goes the life, times, and loves of Dr. Jakob Sammelsohn, a fairly incurable romantic venturing optimistically through modern history. In this inventive and satiric tour de force, Joseph Skibell, award-winning author of A Blessing on the Moon , presents a picaresque novel of exile that could spring only from the imagination of a virtuoso.
