  • "Benjamin Ziskind stiehlt im jüdischen Museum in New York ein wertvolles Chagall-Gemälde, weil er überzeugt ist, dass es seiner Familie gehört. Die schöne Kuratorin, die ihn bald im Visier hat, kann ihn nicht dazu bewegen, das Bild zurückzugeben. Mit seiner Schwester möchte er es fälschen. Die Geschichte des Gemäldes ist tatsächlich auf geheimnisvolle Weise mit seiner Familie verbunden."

  • "Former child prodigy Ben Ziskind?5'6", 123 pounds and legally blind?steals a Marc Chagall painting at the end of an alienating singles cocktail hour at a local museum, determined to prove that its provenance is tainted and that it belongs to his family. With surety and accomplishment, Horn telescopes out into Ziskind's familial history through an exploration of Chagall's life; that of Chagall's friend the Yiddish novelist Der Nister; 1920s Soviet Russia and its horrific toll on Russian Jews; the nullifying brutality of Vietnam (where Ben's father, Daniel, served a short, terrifying stint); and the paradoxes of American suburbia, a place where native Ben feels less at home than the teenage Soviet refugee Leonid Shcharansky. Ben's relationship with his pregnant twin sister, Sara, a painter who eventually tries to render a forgery of the painting to return to the museum, is a damply compelling exposition of what it means to have someone biologically close but emotionally distant."@en
