Publisher's Synopsis
Noah is a 30-year old graduate student, married to Joanne with a 3-year old daughter, Samantha. His life is currently very hectic and he has been struggling with the pace of things. He has been concerned about his mood lately, saying he feels 'down' much of the time. In one session, he reports distress about an incident that happened a few days ago. He was in a small town and met another young man, who, upon learning that Noah was Jewish, asked 'How come you're not in the ovens?'. In this exchange, a story migrates significantly over the course of a few minutes. What is the dominant, foreground meaning of the event for Noah at the outset? What conclusions about himself does he draw from the version of the event he's currently recruited into?
