Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Golems and dybbuks and Nazis, oh my! Jacques Fux, Brazils answer to Philip Roth, offers a remarkably original and entertaining work of autofiction that is essential reading for those interested in the Jewish experience in Latin America.Winner of Brazils prestigious Sao Paulo Prize, Jacques Fuxs brilliant literary debut novel unveils an outrageously entertaining Portrait of the Artist as a Young Schlemiel. Antitherapies relates the life journey of a young Jewish man coming of age in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, from his sensitive childhood and the primal indignation of circumcision, through awkward adolescence, and up to early adulthood and his decision to become a writer. Its peevish protagonist sees Jewishness in general as a festive carnival of irritations. The sources of his joy as well as his misery include his mothers overbearing love; the Nazis, who never really left the stage after their defeat in 1945; his absurdly high IQ; and his grappling with the perpetual tension between cultural assimilation and the preservation of his Jewish identity and heritage. Told through twenty-one playful anti-therapeutic sessions, the narrator summons myriad remembrances of things past, chronicling how he carefully considered and then ultimately rejected an assortment of possible life paths: astrophysicist, delinquent, clairvoyant, forger, hairdresser, logician, charlatan, and mathematician, among others. Fux masterfully integrates poetry, humor, magical realism, and a host of literary allusionsincluding Borges, Pessoa, Joyce, Primo Levi, Georges Perec, and Phillip Rothto create a delightfully rich and original work of autofiction.
