The Lazarus Project Hardback - 2008
de Hemon, Aleksandar
In two collections of stories, The Question of Brunoand the NBCC-finalist Nowhere Man, AleksandarHemon has earned unmatched literary acclaim anda reputation as one of the English language's mostoriginal and moving wordsmiths. In The Lazarus Project,Hemon has turned these talents to an embracingnovel that intertwines haunting historical atmosphereand detail with sharp and shimmering sometimeshilarious, sometimes heartbreaking contemporarystorytelling.
On March 2, 1908, nineteen-year-old LazarusAverbuch, a recent Jewish immigrant from EasternEurope to Chicago, knocked on the front door of thehouse of George Shippy, the chief of Chicago police.When Shippy came to the door, Averbuch offered himwhat he said was an important letter. Instead of takingthe letter, Shippy shot Averbuch twice, killing him.When Shippy released a statement casting Averbuchas a would-be anarchist assassin and agent of foreignpolitical operatives, he all but set off a city and acountry already simmering with ethnic and politicaltensions.
Now, in the twenty-first century, a young writer inChicago, Brik, also from Eastern Europe, becomesobsessed with Lazarus's story what really happened,and why? In order to understand Averbuch,Brik and his friend Rora who overflows with storiesof his life as a Sarajevo war photographer retraceAverbuch's path across Eastern Europe, througha history of pogroms and poverty, and through apresent-day landscape of cheap mafiosi and cheaperprostitutes. The stories of Averbuch and Brik becomeinextricably entwined, augmented by the photographsthat Rora takes on their journey, creating a truly original,provocative, and entertaining novel that will confirmHemon once and for all as one of the most dynamicand essential literary voices of our time.
