Episode 438  - Daniel Victor - Lawyer Turned Author Shares A Jewish Catholic Lovestory - The Evil InclinationAbout the authorDaniel Victor specializes in Jewish-themed fiction and has written three novels, two novellas and a collection of short fiction. The Evil Inclination is his first published novel. He practiced law for more than forty years, concentrating on international media transactions (including fifteen years as a senior executive for Sesame Street). He is a father, and grandfather, and lives in New York City with his wife, Ester Fuchs.Book - The Evil InclinationLev Levitski, devoted son and upright young man, walks the path of Jewish observance without giving it a second thought. But one day in college, Lev encounters Angela Pizatto, a dark-haired knockout, and suddenly, what used to mean everything to him is no longer enough.Angela pulls Lev from a cloistered and prudish existence into a passionate romance that must remain a secret because she is Catholic and he is Jewish. As the young lovers gallivant throughout Brooklyn, and as their devotion to each other builds, they realize that they are headed toward a pivotal crossroad. Can they possibly overcome the seemingly insurmountable differences in their backgrounds? It is a question they must confront if they are ever to have a shared future.Layered into this love story are themes about identity and longing:  how desire—what traditional Judaism calls the Evil Inclination of the title—can define who we think we are.  It's a novel not only about the challenge to balance the burdens of tradition against the power of passion, but also about the struggle to understand how the people we fall for can change us in profound and unexpected ways.https://www.daniel-victor.comSupport the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/
