Announcing Uriel Through Eleanor by Brian Prousky

About the Book:

Uriel “Uri” Katz, World War II veteran, concentration camp liberator, devout atheist and lifelong bachelor, places an ad in a newspaper seeking a “typist” to assist him in writing his memoir. He receives only one reply, from a woman named Eleanor, who negotiates a deal with him that includes room and board.

Within days of her arrival, Eleanor begins inserting herself into Uri’s story. So much so that she eventually becomes one of its main characters. And while Uri is dismayed by this turn of events, he’s also grown accustomed to Eleanor’s company, and as such, begrudgingly puts up with the semi-appropriation of his memoir.

Though what remains imperceptible to Uri—until the novel’s final, thrilling pages—it becomes clear that Eleanor’s appearance in his life wasn’t coincidental; it was manufactured by her. And that the two have been intricately linked since the day he was marched into the concentration camp.

Uriel Through Eleanor was released on March 1, 2024.
