Due out September 6th, Greene brings back Holocaust survivor Mendel Traig, the lead character from his well-received novel LOST AND FOUND, which was originally published by Random House in 1980. Spiced with magical realism and mysticism, THE SEED APPLE, is a mysterious, funny, moving novel.
About THE SEED APPLE
While the Cold War is raging, Holocaust survivor Mendel Traig meets the Binyans, Jewish Indians living in the California desert who claim to be descended from King Solomon’s sailors. Is the fantastic tale of the family’s ancient journey from the disintegrating Mayan culture of the Yucatan to this northern “promised land” true or a myth?
Mendel also meets and falls for Sara Cavanaugh, the engineer responsible for a controversial tower under construction on a sacred site. If completed, the tower will communicate globally with the American nuclear submarine fleet. The Binyan patriarch and his brilliant son are in a generational conflict over the tower and the son’s future.
