David Kishik is Associate Professor at Emerson College. His previous book is The Manhattan Project (Stanford, 2015).
"With The Book of Shem, we are far from the antiquarianism or
spiritual edification one normally expects from a commentary on an
ancient text. David Kishik's unconventional reading follows an
unconventional method, one that clearly draws on vast erudition and
real linguistic expertise."
*North Central College*
"The Book of Shem is a fantastic book that teaches us something new
and returns us to something we have abandoned for too long. David
Kishik turns his well-honed attention to a truly original question:
how to translate 'origin'—how to relate it, relate to it, and let
ourselves be interpellated by it."
*Columbia University*
"The Book of Shem is a rare work of scholarship that combines
elegance with rigor, economy with originality. This is a book I
want to teach, reread, and give as a gift."
*Virginia Tech*
