In Papua New Guinea a hitherto uncontacted tribe is discovered to speak Yiddish. A little deaf orphan survives the Bosnian massacre and is adopted by a nurse from Toronto where he meets another survivor, a deaf-mute Muslim girl who changes his life. A hiker, lost in the forests of New England meets a reclusive trapper who he suspects to be God almighty hiding from humanity. The invention of artificial gills allows humans to recolonize the ocean. An entrepreneur founds a world-wide lottery that ushers in world peace. And then there is Yossl \"the citron king\", a traveling merchant peddling sacramental Etrogs in the shtetls of 19th century Austria who marries a \"shiksa\" and thus becomes (perhaps) the great grandfather of the author. These are just some of outlandish tales in this absurdist collection of short stories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45553509138583,"sku":"9798670879392","price":1201.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798670879392.webp?v=1767914399","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/yossl-the-citron-king-and-other-short-stories-9798670879392","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
