Description

Max Glickman, a cartoonist whose seminal work is just a history entitled Five-Thousand Years of Resentment, remembers his youth in an English suburb in the 1950s. Rising up, Max is enclosed by Jews, each having an entirely open and distinct take on what this means to be Jewish. The deck is only begrudgingly put by his mother, incessantly preoccupied with a card game called Kalooki, absent about the High Holy Days. Max's dad, a failed boxer vulnerable to natural nosebleeds, is just a self-proclaimed atheist and communist, not able to take the Lord that has tricked him therefore positively recently.
