A Man Comes from Someplace - Stories, History, Memory from a Lost Time. Second Edition

A story in history of a multi-generational Jewish family from a lost world, a shtetl in Ukraine before WWI. Explores narrative as cultural study, cultural performance, meta-narrative, and auto-ethnography. Story as antidote to trauma, the insistence that we know the past, and remember those who came before.
