This is a collection of short stories that reads more like a novel. The stories are all told by the same first person narrator who is a young boy in "Tapka" the first story in the collection and a grown man in "Minyan" the final story in the collection. The stories describe the experiences of a family of Soviet Era Russian Jews and their experience living as immigrants in Toronto.
The stories are populated with real and interesting characters. The tone is stark and somewhat bleak. The realism at times makes us think that there must be a fair amount of biographical details, especially judging by the information about Bezmozgis provided on the jacket flap.
The collection is on the short side. There is nothing earth-shattering or ground-breaking here. These are simple, but haunting stories told in a readable style.
