An Ermine in Czernopol by Gregor von Rezzori

nyrbclassics:

Gregor von Rezzori’s An Ermine in Czernopol got a great review in the British magazine The Spectator’s “Book Club”. It’s a bit of a staff favorite here as well :

The novel is a sensuous celebration of the variety and detail of life, and of the distinctive perceptions of childhood, which readers will be inclined to compare with Proust. It is a profound reflection on a period that generated the anti-Semitic pogroms which culminated in the Nazis, though it does not in any way feel dated.
