"[...]#NicholasLemann’s terrific, researched account of his #Louisiana family’s #history in #America and his own #Jewish evolution lands at an important time for American #Jews. Returning is the #Lemann family story of #assimilation and material success in America, and the #author’s engagement in middle age of rich Jewish observance. It is told with #historical rigor but also #novelistic detail. Don’t think of this as a Jewish #book, but as an American #story with relevance beyond the 2 percent who call themselves Jewish. It is a case study in how, in a free country, #Americans choose to wear their #religious and #ethnic identities, and how the majority culture also influences, even bludgeons, those decisions."
