On March 2, 1908, nineteen-year-old Lazarus Averbuch, a recent Jewish immigrant from Eastern Europe to Chicago, knocked on the front door of the house of George Shippy, the chief of Chicago police. When Shippy came to the door, Averbuch offered him what he said was an important letter. Instead of taking the letter, Shippy shot Averbuch twice, killing him. When Shippy released a statement casting Averbuch as a would-be anarchist assassin and agent of foreign political operatives, he all but set off a city and a country already simmering with ethnic and political tensions. Now, in the twenty-first century, a young writer in Chicago, Brik, also from Eastern Europe, becomes obsessed with Lazarus story--what really happened, and why?--From publisher description.… (altro)

Brik says he is going to write a book about the 1908 death of Lazarus Averbuch, an Jewish immigrant shot to death at the doorstep of the Chicago chief of police.

Brik travels to Sarajevo to research Lazarus' background.

The book meanders. Sometimes it is in first person with Brik's life aimless thoughts, moods, and experiences. Some parts are in 3rd person with Lazarus' story. It is a lot of Brik's feelings and what the mood strikes him to consider. ( )

I found this book, #17 on my TBR and my first read of 2016, pretty disjointed. I didn't really care about most of the characters, although I pitied Olga. The book alternated chapters between the fictionalized account of real events, and the travails of the narrator Vladimir Brik and his friend Rora, who half the time wanted Brik to shut up and relax. Brik himself seemed to be a professional beggar, and I agreed with his assertion that few people would care if he was dead. Though it was often hilarious, this book was half history lesson, half travelogue, and somewhat confusing. ( )

My first reaction is that I disliked (heartily) the first-person narrator's slow, slow melancholy. As the book progressed, that melancholy seemed to be the book's purpose - or even to be its own character. His refusal of optimism and just how much of his history is responsible for it are my main takeaways.

The narrative of Olga's crushing anguish interested me much more than the narrator's. ( )

I was racing through this book when I was sidelined by the global pandemic inability to concentrate. I stuck with it, though. Perhaps a bit too bleak for a lockdown read but it's my kind of thing. Person investigates an historic episode (though different, think Laurent Binet's HHhH or Josephine Tey's The Daughter of Time) while dealing with their own stuff. Recommend. ( )

And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with rags, and his face was covered with a cloth. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him and let him go.

My dreams were but a means of forgetting, they were the branches tied to the galloping horses of our days, the emptying of the garbage so that tomorrow—assuming there would be a tomorrow—could be filled up with new life. You die, you forget, you wake up new.
Home is where somebody notices when you are no longer there.
