Russian Immigrant

Russian Immigrant
Told both linearly and non-linearly, with elements of suspense, mystery and crime, these three interconnected novellas gradually reveal many layers of Simon Reznikov's Russian, Jewish, and Soviet past. Vectors of love and desire, nostalgia and amnesia, violence and forgiveness, politics and aesthetics guide Shrayer's immigrant characters while also disorienting them in their new American lives. Set in Providence, New Haven and Boston, but also in places of the main character's pilgrimages such as Estonia and Bohemia, Shrayer's book weaves together a literary manifesto of Russian Jews in America.
