A delightfully funny and moving novel about the singular life of your cantankerous Jewish-American article writer and anarchist troublemaker, as remembered by his princess. In 1972, 64-year-old Ezra Slavin's center gives out at an anti-war rally. A contentious and irascible Jewish-American article writer, anarchist, and inadvertent expert to discontented youngsters, he leaves behind a large extended family of ex-wives, addicts, and children, the majority of whom had trim all ties with the infuriating intellectual provocateur years previously. Out of the entire family, only 1 princess, Merry, a journalist, can keep in mind her daddy with her own critical, conflicted understanding, a saddened sympathy getting close to love. As your day of his memorial methods, she endeavors to seem sensible of the puzzle of Ezra's life before most of its disparate, discordant elements come crashing collectively at the service. The award-winning writer of Other People's Lives, Johanna Kaplan creates a vivid cast of unforgettable characters who expose the disparity between Ezra's long-suffering, neglected family, his admiring friends, and the more youthful hangers-on - and, especially, in the outrageously enigmatic Ezra himself. At once hilarious and poignant, O My America! offers a remarkable evocation of a time and place in the us, a satiric record of the immigrant Jewish experience, and an excellent portrait of the exasperating yet endearing anti-hero seeking his unique eye-sight of the North american dream.
