No Dustjacket. 307 pages. hardcover. keywords: Latin America Guatemala Literature Translated Jewish World Literature. DESCRIPTION - THE CONVERSION is the story of Stanley Bendana's great run toward life, a run across Europe and across a young man's troubled soul, undertaken by a Don Quixote from Flatbush. Stanley Bendana, an American graduate student of Sephardic Jewish background, has come to Spain to study Cervantes. But Stanley's real quest, both spiritual and sensual, is for manhood and for expiation of an all but overwhelming sense of guilt - guilt about his dead father, for whom he had promised to recite Kaddish once a year; guilt about his deserted sister, now languishing in a Long Island mental hospital; and guilt about his reluctance to follow tradition and duty. Stanley was the first member of his family to set foot in Spain since the Expulsion in 1492. At turns raffish and powerfully affecting, The Conversion takes Stanley through a series of bold adventures, vivid encounters, foiled and victorious seductions, and other of life's growing pains and pleasures - from an opening joust with a shrewd Spanish priest to whom an astonished Stanley pretends to be Catholic, to his final attempt to play protector to a group of voluble Spanish domestics held in Dickensian bondage in modern London. In story, THE CONVERSION is straight and true. In theme, it is a mosaic: the pieces - Spanish Catholic, American Jew, Inquisition and Auschwitz, the healing of a haunted soul. inventory #15042.…
