Set in Buenos Aires and Paris, Cozarinsky’s short novel about Jewish immigrants, and the related stories he has collected and retold in a fictional light, may be among the few records we have of a fascinating and little-known twilight society.

Vintage Books

<p>Set in Buenos Aires, Lisbon, Vienna, Budapest, and Odessa, both before and after World War II, the eleven stories in The Bride from Odessa belong to a great Argentine cosmopolitan tradition: that of the uprooted exile, the plaything of history, who sets down in a strange but proud land and looks back nostalgically to the Europe of his ancestral memory.<br><br>Edgardo Cozarinsky's characters are writers, lovers, scholars, artists, and dreamers. An ambitious young Jew, about to marry and embark for a new life in Argentina, is accosted by an unknown woman who departs with him to Buenos Aires; a pianist in a Buenos Aires nightclub finds himself drawn back to Germany in 1937; an Argentine-American Jew travels to Lisbon to unravel the threads of his grandparents' wartime affair. <i>The Bride from Odessa </i>describes a secret land without borders--it is provocative and mysterious fiction of the highest order. <br></p>

<p>Written in the "deforming mirror" of a "foreigner's English," Cozarinsky's fourteen verbal postcards translate an exile's personal experience into public <i>déjà vu</i> while his cinematic novella whisks his character through a political and cultural looking glass by means of special effects that make the world a hemisphere away familiarly strange.</p>

Urban Voodoo

<p><div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <div> <p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">In a bar in the Buenos Aires suburb of Villa Crespo a narrator recalls his encounters with an old man of Lithuanian descent, Samuel Warschauer, whom he came to know shortly before the man died. Among his papers, the narrator found the script of a curious play entitled <i>The Moldavian Pimp</i>, performed in Yiddish in the poor, Jewish area of the city in 1927 and 1928. The play concerned young Jewish girls from the Ukraine recruited by Jewish pimps to go to Argentina on the promises of freedom and a new life, only to find themselves sold into prostitution. Set in the Argentine capital and Paris, and ranging in time from the 1920s to the present day, Edgardo Cozarinsky&rsquo;s beautiful and moving novel about Jewish immigrants may be among the few records of an extraordinary and little-known twilight society.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></p>

<p><b>With an introduction by award-winning author Alberto Manguel, <i>Milongas</i> is Edgardo Cozarinsky's love letter to tango, and the diverse array of people who give it life.</b><br /> <br /> From tango's origins in the gritty bars of Buenos Aires, to milongas tucked away in the crypt&nbsp;of a London Church, a café in Kraków, or the quays of the Seine, Cozarinsky&nbsp;guides us through a shape-shifting&nbsp;dance's phantasmagoric past.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> In neighborhood dance halls vibrant and alive through the early hours of the morning, where young and old, foreign and native, novice and master come together to traverse borders, demographics, and social mores, "it is impossible to distinguish the dance from the dancer."<br /> &nbsp;<br /> As&nbsp;conspiratorial&nbsp;as he is candid,&nbsp;Cozarinsky shares the&nbsp;secrets and&nbsp;culture of this timeless dance with us through glimmering&nbsp;anecdote, to celebrate its traditions, evolution, and the devotees who give it life.</p>
