Aprašymas
Dorothy Gallagher began her literary career fabricating stories about celebrities for a pulp magazine. Nothing she invented, however, could rival the facts surrounding her own family.
In asingular voice-intimate, fierce, hilarious-Gallagher takes you into the heart of her Russian Jewish heritage with stories as elegant and stylish as fiction. From the wrenching last stages of herparents' lives, Gallagher moves back through time: to her parents' beginnings, the adventures of her extended family, and the communist ideology to which they cling. Her aunt Lily sells lingerie toprostitutes; a family friend is found murdered in a bathtub; her cousin Meyer returns to the Ukraine to find his village near death from starvation; and a young Gallagher endures sessions in self-criticism at aWorkers' Children's camp. Together these episodes tell the larger story of a generation living through tumultuous history, and record the acts of loving defiance of a daughter on her path toindependence."
