Author Description

Thad Johnstone/Yehuda Isaacovicz, professor and novelist, struggles for his physical, mental, and emotional survival as he is held captive by a wealthy tormentor. His captor, after having learned of his wife's affair with Thad, seeks revenge. Since he already has everything except the ability "to create," for retribution he wants to extract a novel from Thad's mind. Buried up to his neck in the sand of a secluded beach with a microphone placed before his exposed head, Thad is forced to dictate a manuscript. But it is much more than the act of adultery that has provoked such vengeful hatred it is the professor's being Jewish.
