Produktbeschreibung
When Aubrey Bishop, tarnished rock star and rumored Anti-Semite, pursues young Salla Kahn, a Jewish Studies scholar, they become cannon fodder for armchair combatants fighting a holy war half a world away. Peopled with an unforgettable cast of characters-a Jewish grandmother who's a regular at the gun club, a hipster Muslim with full sleeve tattoos, an angry video gamer from the Israeli Defense Forces-Bracha for a .38 Special is a page-turning love story of uncontrolled passion with Shakespearean outcomes. Newcomer Tanya Coovadia has written an enthralling and provocative exploration of unintended consequences. By turns love story, comedy and thriller, it's a nod to Romeo and Juliet and an ode to the Coen Brothers. It's also an omniscient view of a zealot, a lover, a seeker, a cat. Each is intimately aware of his/her/its own consciousness and only dimly aware of the inner voices of others. But there is one, it is said, who hears all.
Autorenporträt
Tanya Coovadia was a lifelong cynic and hopeless romantic who suffered from borderline iconoclast disorder. She had been a store clerk, a waitress, a technical writer and blogger, and at one particularly ignominious point in her career, a pheasant de-beaker. Raised a Jew, she married a former Muslim, thought like a Quaker, and brought up four children to be free thinkers. Their dog worshiped anyone who would bring forth food from the fridge. Originally from Canada, only to eventually bask in the sun of Florida, Tanya Coovadia, MFA, had studied writing with such talents as Michael Ondaatje, Ann Hood, Sandra Scofield, Sterling Watson and Andre Dubus III. Tanya Coovadia's "Pelee Island Stories" is a 2016 Independent Publishers Book Awards Winner and "Broach for a .38 Special" is a 2013 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Finalist.
