 "Aryeh Lev Stollman has forged a uniquely Jewish perspective on the classic mind-body problem... The Illuminated Soul is a profound novel that sheds light on holy patterns and their endless confusions. But it is also a sturdy narrative that supports a strong and varied cast of characters while...staking out that elusive stretch of middle ground between faith and science."
The Boston Globe |
 "Radiant... remarkable both for Stollman's eloquently understated prose and for the ease with which he constructs his artful plot... At the heart of The Far Euphrates lie the vexed questions raised by the Holocaust and its legacy: how we must try to solve for ourselves the riddle of God's existence and cultivate a sense of mercy in an unforgiving age."
