Reviews
“The confluence of a byzantine plot, intriguing references to Jewish folktales and the Talmud, and an epic storm results in an updated noir providing a glimpse of the Brooklyn and downtown Manhattan hidden from tourists and hipsters alike.” – Kirkus
“A brilliant and profound tale of one young man’s search for identity, and the stories we tell ourselves.” – Foreword Reviews Magazine INDIES Bronze Winner, Adult Fiction
“Astonishingly powerful, thoughtful, and more than a bit troubling, but it is not to be missed.” – Philip K. Jason, Washington Independent Review of Books
“Nadler’s Sea Beach Line is a hypnotizing mosaic of stories within stories whose layers piece together a fascinating mystery of a young man’s search for his father.” – Brendan Kiely, author of The Gospel of Winter
“The Sea Beach Line is a thriller, and a very good one. Beyond that, it’s a thriller informed by the lore of Jewish mysticism, with its sacred texts and burning words and true and false messiahs, and by themes of paternity and patrimony: what it is our fathers leave us, even the fathers we never knew. It gripped me by the throat and wouldn’t let go.” – Peter Trachtenberg, author of Another Insane Devotion
