Requests:  0 Summary:  "Moscow, February 1953. A week before Stalin's death, his final pogrom, "one that would forever rid the Motherland of the vermin," is in full swing. Three government goons arrive in the middle of the night to arrest Solomon Shimonovich Levinson, an actor from the defunct State Jewish Theater. But Levinson, though an old man, is a veteran of past wars, and his shocking response to the intruders sets in motion a series of events both zany and deadly as he proceeds to assemble a ragtag group to help him enact a mad-brilliant plot: the assassination of a tyrant. Levinson's cast of unlikely heroes includes Aleksandr Kogan, a machine-gunner in Levinson's Red Army band who has since become one of Moscow's premier surgeons; Frederick Lewis, an African American who came to the USSR to build smelters and stayed to work as an engineer, learning Russian, Esperanto, and Yiddish; and Kima Petrova, an enigmatic young woman with a score to settle. While the setting is Soviet Russia, the backdrop is Shakespeare: A mad king has a diabolical plan to exterminate and deport his country's remaining Jews. And wandering through the narrative, like a crazy Soviet Ragtime, are such historical figures as Paul Robeson, Solomon Mikhoels, and Marc Chagall. As hilarious as it is moving, as intellectual as it is violent--with echoes of Inglourious Basterds and Seven Samurai--THE YID is a tragicomic masterpiece of historical fiction"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Fiction Goldberg Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Goldberg Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Goldberg Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Goldberg Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Goldberg Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Fiction Goldberg Checked In Add Copy to MyList
