Uriel "Uri" Katz, World War Two veteran, concentration camp liberator, devout atheist, contrarian, cynic and lifelong bachelor, places an ad in a newspaper seeking a "typist" to assist him in writing his memoir and receives only one reply, from a woman, named Eleanor, who negotiates a deal with him that includes room and board.Within days of her arrival, Eleanor begins inserting herself into Uri's story. So much so that she eventually becomes one of its main characters. And while Uri is dismayed and, at times, exasperated by this turn of events, he's also grown accustomed to Eleanor's company and cooking, and, as such, begrudgingly puts up with the semi-appropriation of his memoir.Though what remains imperceptible to Uri-until the novel's final, thrilling pages-is that Eleanor's appearance in his life wasn't coincidental; it was manufactured by her. And that the two have been intricately linked since the day he marched into the concentration camp.Brian Prousky's dazzling new book is memoir-writing turned on its head.

Bildteppich Eines Lebens: Erzählungen Meiner Mutter, Fragmente Und Schweigen ist ein biografischer Bericht über eine Frau, die im Deutschland der 1930er Jahre erwachsen wird. Malve von Hassell erforscht das Leben ihrer Mutter durch die fragmentierte Linse der überlieferten Erinnerung und deren Auswirkungen auf die zweite Generation.1923 im Haus ihres Großvaters in Hinterpommern auf die Welt gekommen, musste sich Christa von Hassell mit dem zunehmenden und allgegenwärtigen Einfluss des Nazi-Regimes auseinandersetzen. Als Kind eines deutschen Armeeoffiziers zog sie mit ihren Eltern oft um. Über Internat, Universität, Heirat, den Zweiten Weltkrieg, das Leben unter sowjetischer Besatzung und einen Neuanfang im Westen, schließlich in Amerika, ist die Biografie eine unglaubliche, emotionale Reise über Kindheit, Überleben und Beziehungen.Die Darstellung von Christas Leben konzentriert sich auch auf die Rolle der Erinnerung: geformt, verzerrt und neu ausgerichtet im ständigen Prozess des Erzählens von Geschichten aus der Vergangenheit in Verbindung mit dem Schweigen über viele Aspekte. Kinder von Frauen, die ähnliche Erfahrungen und Lebenswege geteilt haben, standen vor der Herausforderung, etwas über das Leben ihrer Eltern in außergewöhnlichen Zeiten zu erfahren, verwirrt durch eine Fülle von Geschichten auf der einen Seite und einen scheinbar undurchdringlichen Schleier des Schweigens auf der anderen.Die Aufarbeitung solcher Erinnerungsstücke sowie der Erzählungen der Vergangenheit kann Wege aufzeigen, wie man sich mit dem ererbten Gedanken- und Erinnerungsschutt auseinandersetzen kann. Dieser Bericht über das Leben eines einzigartigen und komplexen Individuums ist auch insofern von allgemeiner Bedeutung, als er uralte Fragen der Beziehung zwischen einer Generation und der nächsten anspricht.
