false <![CDATA[Reborn]]> 298375 2 This hilarious novel is an inside portrait of orthodox, post-Holocaust Judaism in a place that it never expected to be. It's the story of Yoine Levkes, boy hasid of the Canadian Prairies, his refugee parents...confronted with dying people, an ailing culture, the perils of near orphanhood, the allures of Sabina Mandelbroit...too religious to be normal and too normal not to realise this...Humour, satire, irony...and more. It's all here in Michael Wex's first and only novel - "Shlepping the Exile" which has also been published in German - but, of course, by a Swiss publisher! Wex has become a cult-figure in Europe, the Catskill Mountains and throughout North America with his monologues, stand up comedy performances, and his irreverent look at contemporary society. He launched his stand-up comedy act in a nightclub in KarlMarxStadt - East Germany, of course! 289473 1998 Reborn total:5|5:2|3:3| 5 19 16 0 0 0 false false Mon Oct 12 23:29:37 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 23:29:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 02 12:06:12 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 02 12:06:12 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Tue Aug 18 11:06:05 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 11:06:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 09 23:59:52 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 23:59:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 29 13:23:04 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 13:23:04 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat May 30 14:11:11 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 14:11:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 01 18:42:19 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 18:42:19 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 08 18:55:05 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 08 18:55:05 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 14 12:01:13 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 14 13:08:36 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Wed Dec 31 16:36:08 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 16:36:08 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Dec 12 23:04:25 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 23:04:25 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Tue Sep 30 17:38:37 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 30 17:38:37 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jun 01 15:49:04 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 01 15:49:04 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun May 04 22:36:18 -0700 2008 Sun May 04 22:36:18 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Mar 05 21:09:09 -0800 2008 Wed Mar 05 21:09:09 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Fri Mar 09 20:05:38 -0800 2007 Fri Mar 09 20:05:38 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=298375
