Praise for The Overexamined Life of Jacob Hart

Publishers Weekly

Booklife Review

This searching, humane novel debut contemplates God, the cosmos, and humanity’s place in it all… thoughtfulness powers the novel, which unfolds in clear, engaging, at times playful prose…

Wald proves an engaging, empathetic storyteller.

Stellar. The Overexamined Life of Jacob Hart is a thought-provoking, heartfelt, and inspirational story told with depth, nuance, and emotion. Jacob Hart is a complex and compassionate soul who is worth rooting for. We will be hearing more from this talented author.

Highly recommended.

If you have ever thought about the big questions, the meaning of life, religion, and your place in both society and the universe, in other words you live an ‘examined life’, then The Overexamained Life of Jacob Hart is for you.

Page by poignant and humorous page Jerry Wald weaves a magical world out of the ordinary, much the way Hermann Hesse did in his classic, Steppenwolf, appealing to readers young and old.

This book is a very satisfying journey in Paradise.
