4.0 out of 5 stars sentimental story of an excentric old Eastern European Jew, 26 Jan 2000
By A Customer
A superb story, really compelling; Kis proves to be a great story-teller, witty, energetic and inteligent. The books reveals destroyed by holocaust world of pre-war Eastern Europe, full of contrasts, different influences and extremes. The major character of this book is Kis' father: a self-taught philosopher and a quasi-prophet and Kis describes his colourfull lifestyle. If you like prose by Bruno Schulz, you would be overwhelmed by Kis.
