Burn

by Jennifer Fink

Burn Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Fiction. Crafted with echoes of the Adam and Eve myth, set amidst the sexual and political repression of the 1950s, BURN revisits familiar narratives of McCarthyism, Jewish socialism, and pedophilia, but is told from the rarely heard perspective of a menopausal immigrant woman. Jennifer Natalya Fink has received the Dana Award In the Novel, STORY Magazine's Short Fiction Award, The Georgetown Review's Fiction Award, and the Billy Heekin Foundation Award.

Synopsis:

Set in the sexual and political repression of the 1950s, Burn tells the story of a flamboyant Sylvia Edelman, Simon and Sylvan Lake. Burn revisits familiar narratives of McCarthyism, Jewish socialism, and pedophila, but from a rarely heard perspective of a menopausal immigrant woman.

Synopsis:

This retelling of the Adam and Eve myth is a fable for the Bush/Rumsfeld era: a Faulkneresque tale of tomatoes, torture, and tangled love, set amidst the sexual and political repression of the 1950s in a Jewish socialist colony in northern Westchester.
