ISBN10: 0679418687, ISBN13: 9780679418689, [publisher: Knopf] Hardcover Does one ever escape from the family? How much do we understand about our own past? How do we come to be who we are?Walter Abish, the internationally acclaimed author of How German Is It, examines these questions through the prism of his own experience, and confronts and encapsulates the historic upheavals of the mid-twentieth century in this brilliant, deceptively simple, and quietly wrenching account of his two journeys.The first begins in Vienna, where Abish was born in the 1930s in the Jewish, but not-too-Jewish, household of a prosperous perfumer. Then it ricochets around the world as his parents flee first to France (his mother had to sneak alone across the Italian border), then to war-torn Shanghai under Japanese occupation, just ahead of Maos army, then to Israel.Incapable of understanding his familys desperate situation, Abish as a boy creates his own private world, filtering out precarious and terrifying realities.Abish describes fantastic events in the coolest tones.
