A New York Times Notable Book, 2004
"Scary good...Not a line or note in the book rings false."--"Esquire One of the 25 Best Books of the Year, Los Angeles Times
Winner, Reform Judaism Prize for Jewish FictionShortlist, Guardian First Book Award
Shortlist, Governor-General's Award Meet the Bermans-Bella, Roman and their son, Mark-who have fled the Riga of Brezhnev for Toronto, the city of their dreams. Told through Mark's eyes, the stories in Natasha possess serious wit, in a solid literary debut from one of the freshest Jewish voices since Saul Bellow-or Lenny Bruce.
"An authority one usually finds only in more seasoned writers." --Meghan O'Rourke," The New York Times Book Review "An effervescent debut...A familiar tale of dislocation and assimilation with enough humor, honesty, and courage to make it new again...If the last page of 'Tapka' doesn't stop your heart, maybe it was never really beating."--"O Magazine
"Deft...humane but unblinkingly unsentimental...Bezmozgis'...fine stories...are thick with memorable characters." --John Biguenet," Chicago Tribune "Dazzling, hilarious and hugely compassionate narratives [written with] freshness and precision...Readers will find themselves laughing out loud, then gasping as Bezmozgis brings these fictions to the searing, startling and perfectly pitched conclusions that remind us that, as Babel said, 'no iron can stab the heart so powerfully as a period put in exactly the right place.'" --Francine Prose, "People Magazine
"Passionately full of life . . . Often ebullient and warmly comic...[Bezmozgis has] considerable talents." --James Wood, "London Review of Books David Bezmozgis was born in Riga, Latvia, in 1973. In 1980 he immigrated with his parents to Toronto, where he lives today. This is his first book.
