Superior psychological profiles I found this book in my old bedroom while engaging in a hankering for fiction. It more than met my expectations, which had been somewhat blunted by a recent diet of newspaper articles and science fiction. The author not only handles words enticingly, in the manner of one who expects literacy of his readers; he adds such dimension to characters that one can no longer countenance the 2D variety that so often passes for adequacy in these times. I salute his talent, and also wonder if he is the same as (or the father of) Seymour Epstein, the cognitive psychologist. --an admiring psychologist Leah/Seymour Epstein Like Jackie Dial, I'm still moved by "Leah." I met Seymour Epstein only once, 1n 1978, after he awarded my first novel first place in a national writing contest. I loved his books and felt as if he were writing what Roth wanted to. Like Jackie, I'd like to know if the other Seymour is a junior and if/what Seymour senior is writing today. bhearn@pacbell.net See also:
