Even though Arthur Miller wrote this book in 1945, I think it holds a universal theme that is as relevant and true today as it was then. That both amazes and saddens me. Fantastic book that everyone should read, and then take words and reflect them back on themselves to see how they would act in the situation that Mr. Newman finds himself in.

Written in 1945, "Focus" was Arthur Miller's first novel and one of the first books to directly confront American anti-Semitism. It remains as chilling and incisive today as it was at the time of its controversial debut. As World War II draws to a close, anti-Semitism is alive and well in Brooklyn, New York. Here, Newman, an American of English descent, floats through a world of multiethnic neighborhoods indifferent to the racism around him. That is, until he begins wearing glasses that render him "Jewish" in the eyes of others, making him the target of anti-Semitic persecution. As he and his wife find friendship and support from a Jewish immigrant, Newman slowly begins to understand the racial hatreds that surround him. "A strong, sincere book bursting with indignation."

There's a moment of clarity towards the end which is superb, followed by some rather believable mental fumbling as Newman comes to grip with what being a bigot really means. The wrap-up is satisfying, but rather more like a play than a novel: the character development is complete, but ultimately the narrative is unresolved. ( )
