The Myth of Samson In exhilarating and lucid prose, Grossman gives us a provocative new take on the story of Samson: his battle with the lion, the three hundred burning foxes, the women he bedded, the one he loved and who betrayed him and the destruction of the temple. It reveals the journey of a lonely and tortured soul, whose search for a true home echoes our own private struggles.
A daring retelling of the story of Samson, from the author of the Man Booker International Prize-winning A Horse Walks Into a Bar
