The Chosen One

Norman, once a child prodigy, his parents' favorite, and a brilliant lawyer, is now a drug addict at forty-one, rarely leaving his bedroom, consumed by paranoia and hallucinations. The decision to commit him to a psychiatric hospital is a painful step for his father and sister, but thoughts and feelings that had been hidden for decades—from each other and from themselves—are now emerging.

Bernice Rubens's novel "Chosen" won the Booker Prize in 1970, but half a century later, it remains as poignant as ever. Rubens mercilessly and with deep compassion explores the relationships of people closely bound by tradition, aspirations, guilt and duty, love and hate. This tangle of conflicting characters and destinies, skillfully unraveled by the author, is a family firmly knit together by mutual alienation and mutual dependence.
