Beschreibung
In this novella and short stories by the much praised author of HEADS, Alan
Goldfein carries us through the adventures of American Jews in today's
Germany, a land stil haunted by yesterday's Germany. In Deutschland on
business, or by marriage, or seeking something lost, these "visitors" share
a shadowed chord with the natives, even in moments of comedy, exuberance
and hope: A young man dances with a Fräulein at a Maipole celebration; a
Jewish musicologist is joined on the Berlin subway by a skinhead; a
reconciliation group is shattered by a shocking revelation. Dopplegängers
abound in these compassionate and lyrical portrayals of strained reunion.
JEWS AND GERMANS, GERMANS AND JEWS is a work of great power and
original sensibility.
