A finales de la década de 1950, un judío puertorriqueño con orígenes en el Oriente Medio se asienta junto a su familia en la ciudad de Nueva York. Carlos ben Carlos Rossman lleva consigo su legado cultural y a la vez trata de reinventarse mediante la observación atenta de la psicología, la historia y el lenguaje de un enorme país donde confluyen diversas religiones, políticas y prácticas de todas partes del mundo. La reflexión sobre el ser americano y sobre el ser no-americano conduce al protagonista, aspirante a heredero del poeta William Carlos Williams, a desmontar las fábulas e ironías de una nación donde todavía muchos continúan siendo alienados. Publicada originalmente en 2013, esta obra de Benjamin Hollander (Israel, 1952-Estados Unidos, 2016) aparece ahora en su primera edición en español. Se trata de una novela singular y provocativa, donde se integran memorias autobiográficas, citas textuales, cartas, fragmentos líricos y cavilaciones filosóficas para ofrecer una aguda reflexión sobre la identidad del emigrante en Estados Unidos. 3
