The Keeper of Secrets

by Lester Goran

The Keeper of Secrets tells the story of a novelist, Shimen Groff, who after years of neglect is suddenly under consideration for the Nobel Prize for Literature. The novel is an account of his journey across the United States to collate various sections of his long-promised novel manuscript, "Paradise, PA".

At the time of publication, The Chicago Sun-Times declared that "imbued by Goran with a sharp wit and a fine sense of comic irony, Shimen is one of the best intellectual protagonists to come along in some time."
