"This is a work of immense scholarship . . . [that] includes medieval Spanish poets like Judah Ha-Levi and the contemporary novelist Philip Roth. "Booking Passage" is about a return to sacred places, and the sacred in Israel. The dream of 'homecoming' is lastingly recoverable, truly, only in literature and as literature."--Alfred Kazin
