520    ""Stephen Mitchell's gift is to breathe new life into 
       ancient classics. In Joseph and the Way of Forgiveness, he
       offers us his riveting novelistic version of the Biblical 
       tale in which Jacob's favorite son is sold into slavery 
       and eventually becomes viceroy of Egypt. Tolstoy called it
       the most beautiful story in the world. What's new here is 
       the lyrical, witty, vivid prose, informed by a wisdom that
       brings fresh insight to this foundational legend of 
       betrayal and all-embracing forgiveness. Mitchell's 
       retelling, which reads like a postmodern novel, 
       interweaves the narrative with brief meditations that, 
       with their Zen surprises, expand the narrative and 
       illuminate its main themes. By stepping inside the minds 
       of Joseph and the other characters, Mitchell reanimates 
       one of the central stories of Western culture. The 
       engrossing tale that he has created will capture the 
       hearts and minds of modern readers and show them that this
       ancient story can still challenge, delight, and astonish"-
