Redemption is the third installment in Henry Roth's acclaimed "Mercy of a Rude Stream" series. The novel introduces us to Ira Stigman, an older man who, driven by the wisdom of years and some ailments, decides to undertake a very particular therapy: remembering his intense youthful love with Edith Welles in New York in the twenties. Ira, from a Jewish neighborhood, lets himself be carried away by Edith to the bohemian world of New York, even though she has relationships with Larry, Ira's best friend. Roth bravely explores the moral conflicts that define life, offering an inspiring reading.
Henry Roth was an American novelist and short story writer who found success later in life after his 1934 novel Call It Sleep was reissued in paperback in 1964.
