The autobiographical stories in I Loved My Mother on Saturdays, based on the author¿s life ¿ first in a shtetl in Belarus, then as a new American immigrant in New York, and finally as a garment center designer and mother ¿ were first spun orally. This gives her writing a lively, spoken word rhythm, as if she is the raconteur in your living room telling tales out of school. This is the oral tradition in its truest sense: stories shaped by the listener and by time.
Bresnick-Perry¿s stories are wildly funny and deeply moving. ¿ Na¿amat Woman Through these many-splendored multi-layered technicolor personal stories, filled with humor and poignant moments, Roslyn¿s voice enters your heart! She carries you with her to deeper truths of the human spirit. ¿ Peninnah Schram Roz Perry is one of this nation¿s finest tellers of tales. Weaving her memories of the tiny town of Wysokie Litewskie into stories, she has created a priceless resource both for understanding the lifeways in the shtetlach of Belarus and other areas of Eastern Europe, as well as the American immigrant experience. I can not imagine a reader who would not find her book a gift and a delight.
¿ Steve Zeitlin Director City Lore The seeds for the Jewish future are contained in these stories of the Jewish past. In a voice of shrewd innocence, Roslyn Bresnick-Perry describes the hardships, fears and community bonds that shaped Jewish life in the Old Country and the courage, determination and love that allowed Jewish life to bloom in American soil. She has recreated the shtetl from memory, and made a wonderful, unsentimental fairytale out of real-life yiddishkayt. ¿ Larry Bush Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
