The End of the Twins, a Memoir of Losing a Brother
Ever wondered what it would be like to have an identical twinâhow alike would you be to that person? How much of an individual would you be? Saul Diskin and his identical twin brother Marty grew up together in New York City where Saul and Marty were inseparable. As adults, they began to live separate lives, Saul in Phoenix and Marty near Boston. In 1991, Marty, who had suffered from leukemia for 20 years, needed a bone marrow transplant, which he received from Saul. In his extraordinarily intimate book, âThe End of the Twins, a Memoir of Losing a Brother,â Saul Diskin chronicles the rich relationship beginning with their early childhood and ending well past Martyâs death in 1997, shortly before their 63rd birthday.
Saul Diskin recommends âEntwined Lives,â by Nancy Segal and âCosmology and Creation: The Spiritual Significance of Contemporary Cosmologyâ by Paul Brockelman.
