{"product_id":"professor-schiffs-guilt","title":"Professor Schiff's Guilt","description":"\"A writer contends with slavery's legacy, and his own link to it . . . Daring in both scope and imagination.\"—The New York Times\nA stellar novel rendered into a darkly comic, unforgettable narrative by Booker International Prize winning translator Jessica Cohen. An Israeli professor travels to a fictitious West African nation to trace a slave-trading ancestor, only to be imprisoned under a new law barring successive generations from profiting off the proceeds of slavery. But before departing from Tel Aviv, the protagonist falls in love with Lucile, a mysterious African migrant worker who cleans his house. Entertaining and thought-provoking, this satire of contemporary attitudes toward racism and the legacy of colonialism examines economic inequality and the global refugee crisis, as well as the memory of transatlantic chattel slavery and the Holocaust. Is the professor’s passion for Africa merely a fashionable pose and the book he's secretly writing about his experience there nothing but a modern version of the slave trade?\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1954404166\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1954404166.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Schiff, Agur|Cohen, Jessica\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
