- catalog abstract ""This Collection of linked autobiographical stories is part of a growing body of work by American Second Generation Holocaust writers. But from the first story, "Do You Deserve to Live?" when Zosha Palovsky summons her "schlock muse in rhinestone harlequin glasses, cabana pants, and spiked heels" to write Elizabeth Taylor stories for Movie Screen magazine, we know we are in new terrain. Zosha was born in a DP camp in Germany, the daughter of Holocaust survivors, but she has grown up in Brooklyn and Washington Heights, joined a Latina gang, and refused to attend a yeshiva. Her spirit is untamed: she's a rebel, outspoken, sexually liberated, determined to live her own life free of her parents' past. And yet, even the daring, defiant "Holocaust Kid" cannot escape." "Obsessed with events that took place before her birth, Zosha's entire life is touched by the war. She has dreams of Auschwitz, is invited to a fellow artist's "happening" that turns out to be a Holocaust psychodrama, and writes under pseudonyms of those lost in the camps. She falls in love with "her own private Nazi," and then has an affair with a kinky Holocaust scholar. She confounds her parents: Why can't she get married like a normal person and give them grandchildren? How are they to understand their American daughter?"--Jacket.".
