Survivor Café: The Legacy of Trauma and the… di Elizabeth Rosner
Stunningly beautiful book about trauma and suffering across cultures and personal to global experiences. Manages to be sad, triumphant, quiet and soaring all at once. You will simply feel bigger having read this. Recommended up, down and all around.
Beautiful writing, interesting characters and setting, but for me it just didn't come together. The love/friendship triangle was sweet, and the point of view of a native living in a setting from which his culture and heritage has been erased worked well. The story-line about Charles P. Steinmetz just felt like it needed it's own book. His achievements and life story were barley skimmed and did not really tie into the other storyline.
Two disparate lives collide in this modern novel about a postwar German man and a former Israeli soldier. Written in an delicate yet profoundly visceral prose, this novel that moves back and forth through time seamlessly and plunders the depths of human tragedy and personal history and how it affects the choices of their present situations.
Danzig, a prominent but blocked painter is the son of a bigoted Nazi father who terrorized his family in postwar Germany. Marev is the granddaughter of a Jewish survivor of occupied Holland. She is the newest model in Danzig's painting class at the prestigious San Francisco Art Institute. He searches for inspiration from his models. She finds inspiration for her own pieces by using her collection of maps. Their lives collide and intertwine in this compassionately told tale.
My only issue with this book is that I wanted to read more about Danzig's sister, Margot, and Marev's grandmother, Ilana. However,I think that each of these women would hold their own in subsequent novels. I highly recommend this novel.… (altro)

This story of a brother, sister, and a survivor of a south american massacre kept my interest. the author switched the perspective from one character to another constantly and usually after only a few short paragraphs. i was able to know and feel close to all characters and other people mentioned.
