Jacket design by Peter St. John Ginna. keywords: Literature Translated Peru Jewish Latin America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-With this long-awaited second novel the author of the highly acclaimed FRAGMENTED LIFE OF DON JACOBO LERNER fulfills his early promise. Wildly imaginative and darkly comic, PLAY BY PLAY is, most powerfully, a deep, compassionate portrait of a young man born of two distinct and often conflicting worlds. Marquitos Karushansky, a star professional soccer player, is the son of a native Peruvian woman and an immigrant European Jew. Brought up solely by his mother, he was raised among the myths and traditions of native Peruvian culture. Then, at the age of twelve, his father returned to reclaim him, to make him a Jew. The story of Marquito's conversion and its aftermath is told in a variety of narratives: a meditation which focuses on the endless moment of circumcision; the first-person accounts of two friends, one from a Jewish boys' school and the other from a military academy; and through the frenetic voice of a sports announcer who recounts, play by play, the episodes of Marquitos's life, magically transformed into the complex tactics of a soccer game in Lima's National Stadium. For his depiction of the Jewish experience in South America, Mr. Goldemberg has no peer. inventory #565.
