This book features twelve short stories and novellas that delve into immigrant narratives and dislocations that are both deeply personal and universally significant. These tales recount past lives and loves, memories that are both delicate and sometimes unreliable, and our connections to larger historical narratives. They also reflect the Soviet Jewish experience during what was perceived as 'The End of History' in the declining days of the USSR. A French-Cambodian woman embarks on a series of enigmatic journeys to the 'killing fields' of her youth, while a confrontation in a Nigerian jail forces the narrator to confront an insurmountable moral challenge. A heartfelt friendship blossoms among three young soldiers drafted into the Soviet army, and a young man's unexpected romantic encounter with a childhood friend rekindles memories of long-forgotten schoolyard hardships. Furthermore, a pair of soldiers in the twilight of the Soviet Union experience the film Jaws for the first time at a semi-underground video salon. These stories, emotionally impactful yet tinged with gentle humour, delve into themes of displacement, belonging, and memory—resonating across diverse cultures and backgrounds.
