A writer renowned for his insight into the mysteries of the body

now gives us a lambent and profoundly moving book about the

mysteries of family. At its center lies Sherwin Nuland’s

Rembrandtesque portrait of his father, Meyer Nudelman, a Jewish

garment worker who came to America in the early years of the last

century but remained an eternal outsider. Awkward in speech and

movement, broken by the premature deaths of a wife and child, Meyer

ruled his youngest son with a regime of rage, dependency, and

helpless love that outlasted his death.

In evoking their relationship, Nuland also summons up the warmth

and claustrophobia of a vanished immigrant New York, a world that

impelled its children toward success yet made them feel like

traitors for leaving it behind. Full of feeling and unwavering

observation, Lost in America deserves a place alongside such

classics as Patrimony and Call It Sleep.
