The Past Is Never Dead (Gritz Goldberg Mysteries)

Rating:
Summary: A funny mystery - would be a good movie
Review: "The past is never dead" is a hilarious book.
Gritz, the main character, is a bumbling Jewish psychiatrist
with a very complicated home life and a set of patients who
complicate his life even more.
Schulman's historical description of Asheville,
NC is spot-on and gives the mystery a good sense
of place.
I can see Gritz being played by Bill Murray, maybe.
Paul Giamatti (of Sideways) might be a little too young
but he has proven he can play older characters.
There are more Jews in the book than there are in Asheville.
But you don't have to be Jewish to love the book. You just
need to love a good, humorous read!!
Highly recommended.
