Summary: Brilliant beginning and promising future...
Comment: There is something unusual in this book in terms of plot and the idiosyncrasies of the characters involved. The main character, Aryeh Alexander, is a small boy, intellectually gifted, who is surrounded by eccentric individuals: a neurotic mother, a loving father obsessed by Ancient Mesopotamia, a cantor and his sister both victims of the holocaust, and an ill-fated girl destined to die at an early age. Aryeh is involved in the misfortunes of all characters as an outsider, an a spectator. When reaching his coming of age, he secluded himself from the rest of the world in order to settle the confusion in his mind, life, and world. The author is master of a clear, beautiful, and poetic prose. The reader is left with the impression that this novel might represent the beginning of a future literary production with an overall more embracng depth and weight.
Rating: 5
Summary: short, lyrical, well written
Comment: I agree with most of the positive comments made about this book (and even some of the negative ones- though the fact that the central character is essentially passive did not make this book any less enjoyable). One difference between this book and many Jewish writers from the past century or so- it is written from within Jewish Diaspora tradition, rather than about the purely secular Jews of a Phillip Roth novel.
Rating: 5
Summary: rhythmic and enchanting
Comment: exquisite rhythmic prose takes one along a journey of a child's growth spiritually and in reality a delicious read
