Blue Road to Atlantis
With a powerful vision about living courageously, this exquisitely told story is as wise as it is emotionally compelling. In it, a huge marlin, called the Old Fish, has long escaped capture by the fishermen of the Caribbean. He is a samurai of the deep; amid deadly sharks and viperfish, a warrior grown wise in the ways of survival. Now, accompanied by the story's irascible, humorous narrator, a remora, the Old Fish is traveling to Atlantis just ahead of a murderous Red Tide. His desperate hope is to save the sea, yet awaiting him is his ultimate opponent...who is to be his greatest teacher or his doom. Like a polished gem, Jay Nussbaum's powerful allegory shines with illumination about living life to our fullest potential. Buoyed by sea lore and aphorisms, it is an enlightening story of dreams and fears and "swimming with the current."
Jay Nussbaum's Summer Reading List
Steppenwolf
by Herman Hesse
Several years ago I picked up a used copy and settled into
my favorite reading chair that night to begin. The book opened with
the following Author's Note: "[I]t seems to me that of all my
books, Steppenwolf is the one that was more often and more violently
misunderstood than any other… Partly…this may occur so frequently
by reason of the fact that this book, written when I was fifty years
old and dealing, as it does, with the problems of that age, often
fell into the hands of very young readers." So I closed the book
and put it on my shelf to wait. I'm now tired of waiting. Under the
theory that in today's fast-paced, information-saturated world, 42
is like 50 was in 1929, I'm reading it.
