Description
Klotsvog is a novel about the complexities of Jewish identity and the trauma of World War II. Through the story of Maya Abramovna Klotsvog, Margarita Khemlin explores the personal and historical aspects of life in the Soviet Union. Maya's life is marked by her own self-absorption and the petty dramas that surround her. Born in Ukraine, she recounts her experiences during the war, including evacuation to Kazakhstan, and her relationships with family members. The war looms over Klotsvog, leaving a deep impact on Maya's life and identity. Lisa Hayden's translation brings this character study to an English-speaking audience, revealing a gripping narrative full of dark humor and new perspectives on Jewish heritage and survival.
