Aprašymas

M.E. Silverman's The Floating Door moves from the peculiar and vivid details of growing up Jewish in America to a series of musings about the last Jew in Kabul, over whom "the sun snaps shut/ like a casket." Noah and Abraham and Isaac vie for attention in a child's mind with schoolyard rhymes like step on a crack, break your mother's back. A menorah takes center stage, then a Captain America glass. Throughout, there's a daring coupling of whimsy and pathos. Shoes from the piles in the Holocaust Museum, "rise leisurely, puppets on strings" to "sweep through the air like Astaire and Rogers."
