From the pen of one of Canada's best young writers comes a razor-sharp story about friendship, loyalty and growing up. Abramowitz, Glass and Isaacs, three guys, all best friends, all named Nathan, form a boyhood league for life complete with secret chants and rituals (including a scan of the night sky with flashlights to look for God). While Abramowitz and Glass spend their youth grappling with their Jewishness, Isaacs is more concerned with his quest for Denise Filipowicz. In their teens, the league is suddenly split up when Glass has to flee to Israel. Seven years later, out of the blue, a mysterious telegram arrives summoning Abramowitz and Isaacs to a reunion at a synagogue in Spain...
