Her First American | Lore Segal
1 post | 2 read | 3 to read
She's Ilka Weissnix, a young Jewish refugee from Hitler's Europe, newly arrived in the United States. He's Carter Bayoux, her first American: a middle-aged, hard-drinking black intellectual. Lore Segal's brilliant novel is the story of their love affair--one of the funniest and saddest in modern fiction.

For anyone who is a #ToniMorrison fan or a fan of elegant, short prose or a fan of incredible American literature, pick up Lore Segal's "Her First American." It's a fairly quick read, and it's packed with scenes that are ripe for unpacking and discussion.
