Poet George Ellenbogen's memoir is more than a collection of anecdotes of his immigrant family and their journey from Franz Joseph's Austro-Hungarian empire to Montreal in the 1920s. This book charts his discovery of how an immigrant Jewish neighbourhood -- a tight-knit shtetl with extended families that had its own shops, institutions, and daily Yiddish newspapers -- sustained him and his family as well as thousands of others. The revelations ripple outward and what surfaces -- the markers of his parents' navigation in a new world and his own youth in the 1940s and 1950s Montreal -- extend to all. They become part of the universal map in which readers will recognise their own quirky courses into childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
