My Name Is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok

4.0

---

Read this on the recommendation of my boss, and it didn't disappoint. I loved the way the novel was written and how Asher's feelings were portrayed through Potok's descriptions of his paintings. I was also fascinated with the way he handled dialogue throughout the novel. It's a rather sad, disappointing story, but one that feels all too real. "An artist is a person first. He is an individual. If there is no person, there is no artist."
