‘The Women My Father Knew – A Novel’ by Savyon Liebrecht
After his successful first novel, Meir suffers writer’s block. Then his father, poet and charmer of women, who supposedly died decades earlier, contacts him and they arrange to meet. Fragmented, troubling memories of a forgotten childhood time spent alone with his father rise to Meir’s consciousness. Swirling floodwater, a man hiding from the Gestapo, a woman flirting, a bloodstained sheet. What happened during that time, and why did his father disappear? While solving these riddles, Meir inhabits the borderland between memory and artistic creation. He begins to write again, a story of a loving son who witnessed a seduction and perhaps also a murder.
