Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A failing young Russian American journalist's life is unexpectedly transformed when he forges Holocaust restitution claims for his rogue grandfather and his friends Young Russian immigrant Slava Gelman wants to be a great American writer, but is only a researcher at a New Yorker-style magazine. When his beloved grandmother, a Holocaust survivor, dies, his grandfather corners him with a request: could he forge a few Holocaust restitution claims? Slava resists at first, but eventually his semi-fictional accounts turn out to be the best writing he has ever done. Although he lives in fear of discovery and continues to stumble from one tragicomic incident to another, by the time Slava is finally confronted by a German government employee he is ready to play a role that is - almost - heroic. Boris Fishman was born in Minsk, Belarus, in 1979 and immigrated to the United States at the age of nine. He is the editor of Wild East: Stories from the Last Frontier, and his work has appeared in the New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, New Republic, Wall Street Journal, London Review of Books, New York Times Book Review and other publications. He lives in New York City. A Replacement Life is his first novel. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. 2nd Printing. Second printing. Signed by author on dedication page without inscription. Ink gift note on title page. 2015 Trade Paperback. 321, 18 pp. A singularly talented writer makes his literary debut with this provocative, soulful, and sometimes hilarious story of a failed journalist asked to do the unthinkable: Forge Holocaust-restitution claims for old Russian Jews in Brooklyn, New York. Yevgeny Gelman, grandfather of Slava Gelman, ?didn't suffer in the exact way? he needs to have suffered to qualify for the restitution the German government has been paying out to Holocaust survivors. But suffer he has?as a Jew in the war; as a second-class citizen in the USSR; as an immigrant to America. So? Isn't his grandson a ?writer?? High-minded Slava wants to put all this immigrant scraping behind him. Only the American Dream is not panning out for him?Century, the legendary magazine where he works as a researcher, wants nothing greater from him. Slava wants to be a correct, blameless American?but he wants to be a lionized writer even more. Slava's turn as the Forger of South Brooklyn teaches him that not every fact is the truth, and not every lie a falsehood. It takes more than law-abiding to become an American; it takes the same self-reinvention in which his people excel. Intoxicated and unmoored by his inventions, Slava risks exposure. Cornered, he commits an irrevocable act that finally grants him a sense of home in America, but not before collecting a price from his family. Signed by author.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The acclaimed author of A Replacement Life shifts between heartbreak and humor in this gorgeously told recipe-filled memoir. A story of family, immigration, and loveand an epic mealSavage Feast explores the challenges of navigating two cultures from an unusual angle.A revealing personal story and family memoir told through meals and recipes, Savage Feast begins with Boriss childhood in Soviet Belarus, where good food was often worth more than money. He describes the unlikely dish that brought his parents together and how years of Holocaust hunger left his grandmother so obsessed with bread that she always kept five loaves on hand. She was the stove magician and Boris grandfather the master black marketer who supplied her, evading at least one firing squad on the way. These spoils kept Boris familyJews who lived under threat of discrimination and violenceprovided-for and protected.Despite its abundance, food becomes even more important in America, which Boris family reaches after an emigration through Vienna and Rome filled with marvel, despair, and bratwurst. How to remain connected to ones roots while shedding their trauma The ambrosial cooking of Oksana, Boriss grandfathers Ukrainian home aide, begins to show him the way. His quest takes him to a farm in the Hudson River Valley, the kitchen of a Russian restaurant on the Lower East Side, a Native American reservation in South Dakota, and back to Oksanas kitchen in Brooklyn. His relationships with womentroubled, he realizes, for reasons that go back many generationsunfold concurrently, finally bringing him, after many misadventures, to an American soulmate.Savage Feast is Boris tribute to food, that secret passage to an intimate conversation about identity, belonging, family, displacement, and love. These spoils kept Boris familyJews who lived under threat of discrimination and violenceprovided-for and protected.Despite its abundance, food becomes even more important in America, which Boris family reaches after an emigration through Vienna and Rome filled with marvel, despair, and bratwurst.

Book First Edition
1. Auflage. 384 Seiten Zustand: Sehr gut, neuwertig. - OT: "A Replacement Life". - Klappentext: Den Journalisten Slava Gelman aus Manhattan und seine aus der Sowjetunion nach Brooklyn emigrierte Familie trennen nur ein paar U-Bahnstationen und doch Welten. Nun ist Slavas geliebte Großmutter Sofia gestorben, gleichzeitig trifft ein Brief der »Konferenz für jüdische Schadensersatzansprüche gegen Deutschland« ein. Ob Sofia eine Vergangenheit zu erzählen hat, die eine Entschädigung rechtfertigt? Slavas Großvater wittert eine Gelegenheit. Auch wenn Sofias Schicksal nicht den strengen Anforderungen für eine solche Zahlung entspricht: Ist sein Enkel nicht Schriftsteller? Schriftsteller schreiben doch Geschichten. So wird Slava unfreiwillig und zögerlich zum Biografen seiner Familie. Wenig später kann er sich vor Aufträgen aus der Nachbarschaft kaum retten bis die ganze Sache aufzufliegen droht. »Schade an diesem Roman ist nur, dass er irgendwann zu Ende ist. Die Vergleiche mit Henry Bellow, Philip Roth und Gary Shteyngart sind unausweichlich.« ISBN: 9783896675514 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 635 8° (22x14,5cm), Festeinband, Hardcover/Pappeinband im OSchutzU.
