Purim Spiel was simmering inside Harry Geduld's mind for many years. It boiled over at last into this brew of thirty short stories on various Jewish themes. They range from the farcical, and the fantastic to the ironic, the sardonic and the deadly serious. Some, such as "My Friend Sinclair," "Detective Story," and "God Will Know!" contain autobiographical elements. Others, most notably "Mrs. Goldberg Goes Back,"are based on or inspired by real-life experiences of the author's parents. The book is affectionately dedicated to the author's most honest and constructive critic: his wife Carolyn.

DOGSPEARE is Harry Geduld's second collection of short stories. The thirty-four tales range from the whimsical, the satirical and the fantastic to the deadly serious. Most are fictional, but the collection also includes several tales concerning historical figures and one autobiographical story ("Polonaise") which concludes the book.

The biographical and autobiographical memoirs contained in "From the Heart" include essays about Harry Geduld's lifelong interests in music, books and movies, about his wife, and about the exceptional lives of his parents. There is also a memoir, "My Dad," by the author's son Marcus. As an unusual finale, Harry Geduld has provided his own unvarnished Obituary to compensate for the fact that he won't be around to read what others may say or write about him after he has gone.
