Natasha and Other Stories by David Bezmozgis
These connected stories highlight the Bermans, a loving Jewish family who has left Russia behind for the promise of Toronto. The reader follows young Mark Berman through childhood on into young adulthood as he discovers what it means to be Jewish and what it means to be a man. Each story is elegant, streamlined and deeply moving. With stories first published in The New Yorker, Harpers, and Zoetrope, I highly recommend this collection.
