How Delightful Is the Day

Jeremiah and Mo -- two Orthodox Jews at an Ivy League school -- are best friends. They are also bitter rivals: for a girl's affection, for academic success and for the position of campus literary star (they both write newspaper columns). "How Delightful Is the Day" is Jeremiah's journal, which has been published by Mo following his friend's untimely death. In it, every nuance of their relationship will be revealed -- and in the process, so too the betrayals and hook-ups that led to the end. How did it happen? And why did Mo reveal the details? The questions keep coming, and the answers are always farcical and sometimes heartbreaking in Gabe Oppenheim's glimmering and erudite debut. His voice, almost old-fashioned in its ornamental description, brings that style back to life. It is not to be missed.
