Produktbeschreibung

In this poignant and thought-provoking novel, Colin Lang explores the complex journey of Alec Laskowsky, a British man of Polish Jewish descent, as he navigates the intricacies of identity and belonging. Raised in an Orthodox Jewish family, Alec finds himself increasingly at odds with his religious heritage, leading him to abandon his roots and to forge a new path in the secular world.

However, Alec's carefully constructed and successful life is disrupted by a series of events that force him to confront his Jewish identity and set him on a path of introspection and guilt. As antisemitism resurges around him, he is compelled to re-evaluate his relationship with the heritage he once despised.

Through Alec's story, Lang highlights the universal theme of seeking connection and meaning with one's past as Alec comes to realize that he cannot escape but cannot return. Ultimately, Alec's Complaint: A Crisis of Identity invites the reader to reflect on the enduring power of heritage, even for those who feel disconnected. It offers a compelling narrative for readers of all ages and backgrounds, grappling with questions of alienation and redemption.
