Published in 1977 to great critical acclaim, this remarkable novel is set in the 1930s within a small community of Jews in Peru. Don Jacobo Lerner, an immigrant from czarist Russia, lies on his deathbed trying to piece together his life. Told through the testimony of family and friends, through newspaper articles and cultural announcements, and, most memorably, in the haunting words of his bastard son, Efraï¿½n, the details of Jacobo Lernerï¿½s fragmented world emerge. Finally, Lerner becomes a character of universal significance, a tragic but heroic prototype of the Wandering Jew.

Cuando un pueblo es absorbido por otra nación, lo más frecuente es que su cultura, tradiciones, idiosincrasia e incluso su lengua, se pierdan para siempre. Muy pocas comunidades han conseguido mantenerse unidas y, más aún mantener vivos el conjunto de elementos que conforman su cultura. Tal es el caso de la comunidad judía y por lo tanto, cualquier texto que trate sobre estos aspectos de su vida, resulta muy interesante en sí mismo. Este libro reúne textos de diversos géneros literarios considerando narrativa, lírica y dramática, en el aspecto ficticio; y textos no ficticios, donde se consideran el ensayo y el texto periodístico. Todos los cuales fueron escritos en español por integrantes de esta comunidad y que se refieren a ellos mismos y su vida en América.

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Jonathan Tittler. "In DIALOGUES WITH MYSELF AND OTHERS, Isaac Goldemberg's language, singularly, both refers to life's great universal themes and does so with remarkable fluidity. The most refined irony and humor dwell therein, acting as a highly effective means of provoking reflection on the human condition, a primary nucleus of meaning in his poetic oeuvre. One of the most original poets of our time, he is endowed with an extraordinary gift with words, and these are placed at the service of a humanism that withstands all tests."—Luis Benítez "Utilizing the technique of collage and decoupage, the poetic voices in these poems experiment with distance and proximity, resembling the work of a photographer's lense, focusing and distorting at will the images before him to bring about new ones hidden within."—Julio Ortega "Isaac Goldemberg's poetry is from the beginning invested in creating meaning. The strength of his poems, the contraction of his images is bedazzling."—Raúl Zurita

Lima, 1970: a tremendous earthquake has just struck the Peruvian capital, and mayhem reigns. Tensions are high, with a population reeling from the disaster and mesmerized by the World Cup. Enter detective Simon Weiss, tasked with solving two seemingly unrelated murders: the crucifying and beheading of a Japanese man in a pool hall and an apparent murder-by-hanging of an elderly Jewish man. Joined by Lieutenant Kato Kanashiro, whose deep ties to Japanese-Peruvian culture inform the case in surprisingly personal ways, Weiss traces the histories of two very different criminals and their crimes. Weiss is haunted by the trauma of a childhood partly spent in a German concentration camp. Weiss is troubled boozing, coke-snorting, and vengeful. He is unfaithful to his prostitute lover and takes up with a younger, married woman who is a fellow survivor of the Holocaust. Weiss and Kanashiro's banter is hilariously recorded with Goldemberg’s deadpan police procedural narration. Beyond a simple pulp, Remember the Scorpion tracks the wreckage of the Second World War and reconstructs it in the conflicted psyche of a South American detective. Weiss must uncover the relation between the perpetrators and their crimes, while searching deep within himself to conquer his own demons.
