Produktbeschreibung
Hertz Minsker, Jewish emigrant, self-proclaimed intellectual and true charlatan, lives at the expense of real estate magnate Morris Kálisher, a childhood friend. An inveterate seducer, he is married for the fourth time to the singer Bronie and has an affair with Minne, Morris's wife, in the same beards of their respective spouses. However, the emergence of Minne's first husband into their lives with the plan to sell Morris several forgeries of paintings by Picasso and Chagall will shake the delicate balance of their particular house of cards, giving rise to humorous disagreements and misunderstandings in the family. Originally published in installments in the New York newspaper Forverts, The Seducer is a fast-paced sitcom, as well as an extraordinary portrait of the life of Jewish emigrants in New York in the 1940s. A great novel about exile, uprooting and stateless status.
