Produktbeschreibung
David Bezmozgis, the writer who brought us the pointed, emotionally resonant tales (The Globe and Mail) of Natasha and Other Stories, brings us a new collection, his first in more than a decade.

In the title story, a father and his young daughter stumble into a bizarre version of his immigrant childhood. A mysterious tech conference brings a writer to Montreal, where he discovers new designs on the past in How It Used to Be. A grandfather's Yiddish letters expose a love affair and a wartime secret in Little Rooster. In Childhood, Mark Berman's concern about his son's phobias evokes a shameful incident from his own adolescence. In Roman's Song, Roman's desire to help a new immigrant brings him into contact with a sordid underworld. At his father's request, Victor returns to Riga, the city of his birth, and has his loyalties tested by the man he might have been in A New Gravestone for an Old Grave. And, in the noir-inspired tale, The Russian Riviera, Kostya leaves Russia to pursue a boxing career only to find himself working as a doorman in a garish nightclub in the Toronto suburbs.

In these deeply felt, slyly humorous stories, Bezmozgis pleads no special causes but presents immigrant characters with all their contradictions and complexities, their earnest and divided hearts.
