Synopsis
It's a shame that Henry Roth died in 1995, because now readers will never know what happens to his fictional alter ego, Ira Stigman, once he leaves City College. For readers familiar with Roth's series of autobiographical novels, Requiem for Harlem is the last of four books chronicling the childhood and young adulthood of Stigman; for those who have not yet discovered Roth, consider reading the first three in the series to get a handle on the dark, complicated, and rich world Ira Stigman occupies. Set in 1920s Harlem, Roth's novels explore the life of Jewish immigrants. In earlier volumes, the reader meets Ira, his sister Minnie, his cousin Stella, and his parents. Home life for the Stigmans is hardly heartwarming: the parents are locked in a violent marriage, and the children are involved in incestuous relationships. By the time Roth and Stigman have reached the events chronicled in Requiem for Harlem, Ira and Minnie are no longer sleeping together, but Ira and Stella are.
Requiem for Harlem follows Ira through his college years and his attempts to separate from his family, his neighborhood, and his own past. His childish passions for Minnie and Stella give way to his attraction to an older woman, Professor Edith Welles--an attraction that is as complex in its own way as his earlier relationships with his sister and cousin. It's unfortunate that there will be no further volumes taking us through the rest of Ira's life, but for those who wonder what happened to him, there is the example of Henry Roth to guide us.

Seller: ANTIQUARIAT Franke BRUDDENBOOKS, Lübeck, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
8° gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Wie neu. 404 Seiten Gebundenes Buch mit Original-Schutzumschlag. Buch ist wie neu, aus priv. Vorbesitz, ungelesen. Mit minimalen Lagerspuren. -----Inhalt:. "In seinem Roman 'Requiem für Harlem', der sein letzter war, erzählt Henry Roth die qualvolle Liebesgeschichte des 21-jährigen Ira Stigman, Senior-Student am City College von New York, mit der zehn Jahre älteren Edith Welles, Literaturdozentin an der New York University. Ira Stigman, Sohn jüdischer Einwanderer aus Galizien, versucht, die Fesseln zu sprengen, die seine Herkunft aus einfachsten Verhältnissen ihm anlegt. Er fühlt sich als vollkommener Versager und taumelt unbehütet und unaufgeklärt durchs Leben, Geborgenheit findet er erst in der Literatur, an die Edith, die Geliebte seines besten Freundes Larry, ihn behutsam heranführt. Gehemmt und verklemmt beobachtet Ira still leidend das promiskuitive Leben der Edith Welles, die neben Larry noch andere Liebhaber hat. Edith aber sucht Iras Nähe, vertraut sich ihm bei einer Abtreibung an, hält ihn allerdings für sexuell desinteressiert und unberührt, ohne sein schreckliches Geheimnis zu ahnen: den jahrelangen Inzest mit seiner Schwester Minnie".
