Using the metaphor of the Wicked Son at the Passover seder—the child who asks, “What does this story mean to you?”—Mamet confronts what he sees as an insidious predilection among some Jews to seek truth and meaning anywhere—in other religions, in political movements, in mindless entertainment—but in Judaism itself. At the same time, he explores the ways in which the Jewish tradition has long been and still remains the Wicked Son in the eyes of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten with the searing honesty and verbal brilliance that is the hallmark of Mamet’s work,\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Wicked Son\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a scathing look at one of the most destructive and tenacious forces in contemporary life, a powerfully thought-provoking and important book.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":42371206381602,"sku":"","price":19.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":42371206414370,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/1509\/8658\/files\/41srxj4KjoL.jpg?v=1707856769","url":"https:\/\/vaholocaust.myshopify.com\/products\/the-wicked-son","provider":"Virginia Holocaust Museum Shop \u0026 Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
