המינגווי וגשם הציפורים המתות

Tal Shani looks like any tough young Tel Avivian, waiting his turn at the post office in Ramat Aviv. But he was once Tolik Schneiderman, a seven-year-old on his own in a small bare Soviet apartment, convinced that the Germans would come for him as they had for his grandfather, and waiting for an adopted grandfather to come home from the Gulag. Between Soviet propaganda posters and Israeli TV comedy, the book explores the split life of the immigrants from the former USSR.
