A Day Of Small Beginnings (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
The jacket he had worn to Zokof lay draped over the chair. A stray blade of grass hung limply from its outer pocket. Nathan looked at it sadly. He was no longer sure what had happened earlier that day, how much of what he’d seen or heard was real, how much an exaggerated perception of reality. Was Rafael an extraordinary man or just a man so different from himself that he’d seemed extraordinary? As for Pop and Freidl, the less he tried to rationalize what he’d heard about them, the better. He turned out the light. Sometime during the night, a woman’s voice hummed the tune he’d heard at the entrance to the Zokof cemetery, the same tune he’d heard in his dream the night before. He opened his eyes. A lantern flickered in the distance and grew, illuminating a life-size copy of Pesha Goldman’s photograph of the fourteen-year-old Itzik. Itzik’s pale, hungry face contrasted vividly with his borrowed studio clothes.
