{"product_id":"lost-in-america-isbn-9780375727221","title":"Lost in America","description":"A writer renowned for his insight into the mysteries of the body now gives us a lambent and profoundly moving book about the mysteries of family. At its center lies Sherwin Nuland’s Rembrandtesque portrait of his father, Meyer Nudelman, a Jewish garment  worker who came to America in the early years of the last century but remained an eternal outsider. Awkward in speech and movement, broken by the premature deaths of a wife and child, Meyer ruled his youngest son with a regime of rage, dependency, and helpless love that outlasted his death. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn evoking their relationship, Nuland also summons up the warmth and claustrophobia of a vanished immigrant New York, a world that impelled its children toward success yet made them feel like traitors for leaving it behind. Full of feeling and unwavering observation, \u003cb\u003eLost in America\u003c\/b\u003e deserves a place alongside such classics as \u003cb\u003ePatrimony\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eCall It Sleep\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e“Riveting. . . .

A supremely gentle book.” \u003ci\u003e--San Francisco Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Remarkable. . . .
