Review

Frank Rich of "The New York Times" called The Substance of Fire "A searing achievement...articulate, witty and true."

An amazing story of Isaac Geldhart, a Holocaust survivor turned New York publisher. Driven by a desire to faithfully record one of the darkest episodes in the history of people, he publishes books that simply don't sell. His gay son proposes that the family firm publish a book by lover - a gay book. His children try to steer the firm towards this and other more profitable ventures, but become antoginists of Isaac as he slowly loses his mind. Brilliant stuff.
