Jew Boy : A Memoir

Size: 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall

From Publisher:

Jew Boy tells the story of a young boy growing up in the complex shadow of his mother's survival of the Holocaust. He struggles to comprehend what it means to be Jewish as he deals with the demons haunting his mother and attempts to escape his wretched home life by devoting himself to high school football. He eventually hitchhikes across the country, coming face-to-face with the very phantoms he has fled.

Alan Kaufman's odyssey leads him to a kibbutz in Israel and a stint in the Israeli army, followed by a descent into alcoholism on the streets of New York City. Finally, he finds redemption in poetry.
