 Memoirs of an Anti-Semite, A Novel in Five Stories Gregor Von Rezzori LITERATURE • 2007 • PAPER • 287 PAGES
Set against a backdrop of Central Europe between the wars, these five connected stories follow the fate of a young Romanian -- and his tense, vacillating relationship with Jews (including his own Jewish wife). Originally serialized in the New Yorker in 1969, it's a brilliant, disturbing book. Born in Bukovina in the Capathian mountains, Rezzori's many novels and essays address shifting notions of identity in Central Europe since WWI.
