PETER MANSEAU

Songs begins on the night of a pogrom in Kishinev in Russia, while blood thirsty Christians were seeking Jewish blood, the narrator Malpesh is born in 1903. A lot of change is coming to central Europe. Malpesh is a poet, constantly writing on what ever surface he can find. He found a photo of a girl who as a child attended his birth and falls in love with  this girl. She is his muse but he discovers she lives in Palestine. Luck or fate (or are they the same thing) take him to the golden land: New York City. 

The ending looses energy but still well worth the read.
