A book about preconceived notions of your future and the feelings that come with trying to make that real while accepting the reality that you're meant for something different. ( ) Tanya is an immigrant to the United States from Russia. She came as a young woman to improve her life at her mother's desire. Her family in the United States was her uncle, her aunt, her cousin, her cousin's husband and their young son. All her life, Tanya was engrossed in learning about the life and women of of the great Russian writer Dostoyevsky. Considering Polina to be Dostoyevsky's greatest love and muse, Tanya decided that she, too, wanted to be come a muse. She finds a man who reminds her of Dostoyevsky, and she attempts to be come that man's muse. Tanya turned out to be a muse two times over, but not in the way that she would have predicted. I liked this novel although I was puzzled by what it was trying to tell me. I could see the protagonist struggling in her new American life, but I could not figure out where the relationship with her boyfriend would take her. I liked the ending of the novel the best because it made the most sense. It showed how she did become a muse and how her life resolved after an odd relationship with her Dostoyevsky-like boyfriend. Na Er zitten joden in mijn huis is dit het tweede boek dat ik van deze schrijfster las. Dit is een roman waarin we Tanya, een in Moskou geboren meisje dat geobsedeerd is door de schrijver Dostojevskij en de vrouwen in zijn leven, volgen als zij van Rusland naar Amerika emigreert. Ze komt naar Amerika om haar variant van de Amerikaanse droom te verwezenlijken: kennismaken met een schrijver en zijn muze worden.

Tanya is a typical teenager living with her bookish professor mother in a cramped Soviet apartment. She is obsessed with Dostoyevksy, and noticing that he always portrays his mistress and muse in his novels–never his wife–she determines to become a companion to a great writer. Her opportunity comes when, as a college graduate newly emigrated to America, she attends a Manhattan bookstore reading by Mark Schneider, a Significant New York Novelist. Tanya quickly moves in with Mark, ready to dazzle in bed, to serve and inspire . . . if only he would spend a little more time writing. But as she struggles to better understand her role as Muse, Tanya also learns more than she expected about the destiny she has imagined for herself. A touching and very funny novel in the great tradition of Russian realism, Memoirs of a Muse is also a lively meditation on the mysteries and absurdities of artistic inspiration.
