Mother Odessa. In addition to its literary qualities, the novel Mama Odessa presents a view of the turbulent fate of Jews in the 20th century. It tells the story of a Russian-Jewish family from Odessa and artfully connects different time periods: Odessa during World War II, including the massacre of Odessa’s Jews in 1941, the late Stalinist period when the KGB persecuted the narrator’s father, emigration, and the present.
The author also reflects on literature and writing in a significant way in the novel, as both the narrator and his mother are writers.
