A “truly enjoyable” journey through one man’s Jewish American
experience by the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Marjorie
Morningstar (Newsday). Israel David Goodkind is a minor bureaucrat in
the Nixon White House, killing time in the office by writing the story
of four generations of his large, sprawling Russian Jewish immigrant
family. As he recounts his brief stint in show business, his torrid
affair with a showgirl, and his encounters with a hassled and
distracted President Nixon, Goodkind also witnesses historical events
firsthand—the Watergate scandal, the Yom Kippur War—and eventually
finds his way back to his Jewish faith. Combining Pulitzer Prize
winner Herman Wouk’s wildly comic streak with his deep respect for
religious tradition, Inside, Outside is both an individual’s story
and “a social comedy of Jewish-American life reaching from New York
to Jerusalem and spanning much of the 20th century” (Publishers
Weekly). “Extremely funny.” —The Wall Street Journal “Wouk
reaffirms his position as one of the nation’s eminent
storytellers.” —Newsday “Wouk’s most significant work since
The Caine Mutiny.” —Chicago Tribune “Generously stuffed with
zestfully old-fashioned humor and sentiment.” —Kirkus Reviews
