Suzanne Fisher Synopsis
Suzanne Fisher continues the story of Triphammer Falls but now all the action is in Europe. It follows James Levin from the time he lands at Le Havre till a month later when he meets Suzanne at the Gare Saint-Lazare in Paris. Once in Paris, they take a room together on the Left Bank, but find there really wasn't much they could get done there nor achieve living as they were in a dollar-a-day hotel room in "The Latin Quarter."
The book takes place completely in Europe at a time when it really was a "Bohemian Paradise" and there wasn't any place you really couldn't get a room for less than a Dollar a night. Suzanne is petrified of her father and that he will find out they are living together in Paris and, therefore, bring her home.
Levin decides to solve the problem unilaterally, as it were, and goes, albeit unwillingly, not to Vienna – where he had always wanted to return – but to Alt Aussee in the Austrian Salzkammergut, which some people at a Café on the Left Bank, The Contrascarpe - known for its guitar-playing folk singers, French, English, Scottish, and American, near where Hemingway used to live – had recommended to him.
From there, still unable to work effectively because of worrying about Suzanne alone in Paris, he goes to Vienna and several times back to Paris before finally going down to Hydra off the Coast of the Peloponnesos (since made famous by Leonard Cohen in his song So Long, Marianne) and the Greek Islands. It has also recently been discovered by the editors that Theodore Herzl,the acclaimed Zionist Thinker, used regularly to spend his summers at Alt Aussee.
In Hydra, not only are Levin's adventures there described, but from there the last stages of his relationship with Suzanne Fisher are worked out before he finally returns to Paris one last time where the book reaches a climax.

He is Emeritus Professor of Middle East Religions and Archaeology and the former Director of the Institute for the Study of Judeo-Christian Origins at California State University Long Beach and Visiting Senior Member of Linacre College, Oxford. He holds a B.A. from Cornell University in Philosophy and Engineering Physics (1958), an M.A. from New York University in Near Eastern Studies (1966), and a Ph.D from Columbia University in Middle East Languages and Cultures and Islamic Law (1971). He was a Senior Fellow at the Oxford Centre for Postgraduate Hebrew Studies and an American Endowment for the Humanities Fellow-in-Residence at the Albright Institute of Archaeological Research in Jerusalem, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were first examined.
In 1991-92, he was the Consultant to the Huntington Library in San Marino, California on its decision to open its archives and allow free access for all scholars to the previously unpublished Scrolls.

The Dissatisfaction of an Electronic Life
I imagine many of us have seen the effects of an electronic life replacing a genuine one.
