*loved* this intriguing, page-turning, heart-breaking and addictive story about two men and the disguises they wear for others and for themselves. a well to do arab-israeli lawyer finds a love letter in a book that looks like it was written by his wife; all of a sudden his perfect life falls apart and he doesn't know who he is, who is wife is, anymore. turn the page for the story of another arab man, a nameless social worker who becomes disenchanted with his life and becomes the caretaker of a vegetative jewish man. how and where and why the two stories come together is like watching a slow motion car crash. second person singular is a book that will surprise you and defy your expectations at every turn, will make you smile and cry and break your heart. it's a winner!
