Abstract:

Part I is a linked series of short stories that follows the lives of a Jewish American family over the course of several generations. It deals with issues of memory, historical trauma, physical frailty, and the way tradition is (or is not) passed on. Part II is comprised of two unrelated short pieces that deal with the body, the necessary sadness of relationships, and food/eating.
