Now a Major Motion PictureA dazzling debut--and a publishing phenomenon--the tender, savagely funny collection from a young immigrant who has taken the critics by stormWinner of the Commonwealth Writers First Book Prize for Canada and the Caribbean, the Toronto Book Award, Reform Judaism Prize for Jewish Fiction, Koffler Centre of the Arts Helen and Stan Vine Canadian Jewish Book Award for Fiction, the City of Toronto Book Award, the Jewish Quarterly-Wingate Prize for Fiction, and the Moment Magazine Fiction AwardShortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award, the Los Angeles Times Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction, and the Governor Generals Award for Literature, the Danuta Gleed Literary Award for Best First Collection of Short Fiction in the English LanguageNamed a New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year, a Los Angeles Times 1 of the 25 Best Books of the Year, a New York Public Librarys 25 Best Books to Remember, and a Chicago Tribune and San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of the YearFew readers had heard of David Bezmozgis before May 2003, when Harpers, Zoetrope, and The New Yorker all printed stories from his forthcoming collection. In the space of a few weeks, America thus met the Bermans--Bella and Roman and their son, Mark--Russian Jews who have fled the Riga of Brezhnev for Toronto, the city of their dreams.Told through Marks eyes, the stories in Natasha possess a serious wit and uniquely Jewish perspective that recall the first published stories of Bernard Malamud and Philip Roth, not to mention the recent work of Jhumpa Lahiri, Nathan Englander, and Adam Haslett.
