Sefardíes en Nueva York
Rojo Díez, Eduardo
After their expulsion from Spain, the Jews undertook an almost perpetual migration in search of a place on earth. In subsequent centuries, the Sephardic diaspora preserved the Romance language and Hispanic culture in all corners of the world. Nine stories starring the descendants of those exiled by the Catholic Monarchs. Some are old and others are current. The Sephardim arrived in Manhattan before English was spoken there. Nine stories of people looking for a reason to live. Owning a red partridge from the Burgos region of La Bureba is one of the wishes of an old Jew who is a janitor at the Jesuit university in New York. Two old men, one Ashkenazi and the other Sephardic, settle their differences with a fateful race along the banks of the Hudson River... Fictional characters mingle with other real ones such as Lorca, Muñoz Molina, Philip Roth and Woody Allen; to set up a metaliterary altarpiece about social uprooting and the tireless search for identity.
