A classic novel of the immigrant experience
Lore Segal may have come closer than anyone to writing the Great American Novel.
—NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
She’s Ilka Weissnix, a young Jewish refugee from Hitler’s Europe, newly arrived in the United States. He’s Carter Bayoux, her first American: a middle-aged, hard-drinking black intellectual. Lore Segal’s brilliant novel is the story of their love affair—one of the funniest and saddest in modern fiction.
Lore Segal was born in Vienna and educated at the University of London. The author of Other People's Houses (also available from The New Press) and other works, she is a regular contributor to the New Yorker, The New York Times Book Review, The New Republic, and other publications.
