Description
A spiritual journey through the life of a man, as told by one of the greatest Yidis novelists. In 1939, Joseph Shapiro flees his homeland and embarks on a path that takes him across Europe before settling in Russia in 1945. There, he reunites with an old friend, Celia, whom he marries. As they build a new life together in the United States in 1947, Shapiro struggles to find comfort in the values of the society that has welcomed him. Feeling disillusioned by the idolatry and superficiality around him, he sets out on a quest to rediscover himself and his cultural roots. This journey ultimately leads him to establish a new home in Israel. A poignant exploration of identity, culture, and belonging, this book offers a unique glimpse into the life of its author, one of the most celebrated Yidis writers of all time.
