A Curable Romantic

Joseph Skibell; read by Jeff Woodman

Sami Rohr Choice Award Winner

An epic and audacious historical novel set in turn-of-the century Vienna and Paris that crosses the lines between characters both real (Sigmund Freud, Emma Eckstein, L. L. Zamenhof, and others) and imaginary (including protagonist Dr. Sammelsohn). It’s an entertaining picaresque novel that seamlessly weaves together 50 years of Jewish tradition, history, and folklore along with a wholly original take on Freud, the Esperantists, and life in the Warsaw ghetto.
