American Inscape: A Memoir

About the Book

“Part of me remained back then, frozenly waiting for Shale to return. I waited also for Fayga’s forgiveness to be showered on me. Neither miracle occurred. These deluded hopes, which soon fell below my conscious mind, followed me like a curse for the rest of my life. I have held fast to impossible, sublime anticipations.”
