Jerome Charyn: Jerzy (USA 2017) From the Publisher: Jerome Charyn lends his unmistakable style to this most American story of personal disintegration, told through the voices of multiple narrators -- a homicidal actor, a dominatrix, and Joseph Stalin's daughter -- who each provide insights into the shifting facets of Kosinski's personality. The story unfolds like a Russian nesting doll, eventually revealing the lost child beneath layers of trauma, while touching on the nature of authenticity, the atrocities of WWII, the allure of sadomasochism, and the fickleness of celebrity. Jerome Charyn: Jerzy. A Novel. Bellevue Literary Press, ISBN: 9781942658146 (March, 2017), 240 p., $16.99, eBook $16.99.
