As he navigates, with faltering recall , between the subtle anti-semitism that pervaded the school's ethos and his fascination with his own family history--in particular, his illustrious cousin, the renowned archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie (check out his Wikipedia entry!), the source of his interest in antiquity--he reconstructs the story of his encounter from his school days with a younger student named Ben-Zion Elefantin, who seems to belong to a lost ancient Jewish sect. From this seed emerges one of Ozick's most wondrous tales, one that displays her delight in Jamesian irony and the mythical flavor of a Kafka parable, woven into her own distinct voice"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Boys' schools $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $x History $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Antisemitism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Autobiographical memory $v Fiction. 941 $a 13 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021659.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909063633.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220301010905.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210723014030.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064022.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20210713013210.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707012028.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210602012610.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210602010223.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20210520010358.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210518010415.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210504010610.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210501010028.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7AFE4DC8AA4211EB94D5E8E050ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
