Softcover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. In 1921 Solomon Orlovski, a Russian Jew born in 1904, emigrated to America and transformed himself into Robert Orlove, a pattern maker in two senses of the term: during the day, he worked in the fur trade in New York and Chicago, making patterns for toys and hats; in his private life he became a self-taught artist who created prints, sketches, and collages in his study. More than sixty years later his son Ben--an anthropologist educated at Harvard and Berkeley--walked through the doorway of the deceased Robert's study and began to explore more than a half century of his father's experiences, thoughts, and emotions as well as his own very different life. His wry, sensitive combination of biography, memoir, and autobiography taps a remarkably rich vein of individual and collective experience in our diverse society. Ben Orlove's dual narrative constitutes a family history of notable breadth and immediacy. By turns passionate and cool, dramatic and analytic, he excavates his father Robert's lifetime accumulation of diaries, letters, clippings, photographs, and artworks to create a convincing, deeply satisfying portrait that link both father and son.

Paperback. Etat : COLLECTIBLE - NEW. First Edition, First Printing. BRAND NEW Copy. Unusual dual-autobiography. In 1921 Russian born Jew Solomon Orlovski emigrated to America, and took on the name of Robert Orlove. Some 60 years later his son Ben Orlove, an anthropologis, looks into his now deceased father's study which has been lovingly preserved by his mother. At his father's desk, the junior Orlove sifts through voluminous records of a life and mounds of memorabilia to write his father's biography, and, in doing so, writes his own. A personal & intimate history of one family, and, simultaneously that of the Jewish American experience at large. At the point of publication, the author was professor of Environmental Studies at the Univ. of California, Davis. N° de réf. du vendeur 001102
