RONALD PIES, M.D.
"Welcome to Eutopia, Mr. Bok" concerns the strange fate of Leo Bok, a former professor of literature, who is placed, against his will, in a most unusual assisted living facility. Leo soon begins to discover that beneath the place's civilized veneer, something sinister is going on. But then there is the fetching, older woman who runs the coffee stand, and who knows something about the mysterious doctor who directs "Eutopia". The woman has her eye on Leo--and might just hold the key to his survival. The novella is followed by several short stories that mine the rich vein of tragi-comedy in the American-Jewish literary tradition. (R)
