Read full description of the books:
This amusing family chronicle, actually a memoir thinly disguised as fiction, begins with the marriage of Kaminski's maternal grandparents and ends with his own birth in 1923. The foibles of Leo Rosenbach and his shrewish wife are ironically and unsparingly portrayed; Malva, their daughter, an independent girl with socialist leanings who becomes one of the first women Viennese pharmacists, fares better. On the author's paternal side, wealthy Polish manufacturer Yankel Kaminski disowns his 11 sons for revolutionary activities, allowing them to be deported to Siberia. The brothers escape to America and become the first Jewish soccer team. Hershele, the author's father, returns to Europe intending to take part in the Russian Revolution but meets and marries Malva instead. Thus the two families are joined. Kaminski's broad humor and affectionately drawn portraits of his socialist parents make this a lively narrative. A bestseller in Europe, this first novel is as much a reflection on the Jewish diaspora as on the author's own family history.

Read information about the author

In Polen arbeitete Kaminski vor allem als Produzent und Dramaturg; er verfasste auch zahlreiche Theaterstücke und Drehbücher in polnischer Sprache. Zeitweise lebte er als Auslandskorrespondent in Marokko und Algerien.
1968 wurde er von Polen ausgebürgert; er ging nach Israel, kehrte allerdings 1969 in die Schweiz zurück. Dort lebte er in Zürich und war für das Schweizer Fernsehen tätig. Seine seit 1983 erschienenen, stark autobiografisch gefärbten erzählerischen Werke in deutscher Sprache waren ein großer Publikumserfolg und ermöglichten ihm ab 1986 eine unabhängige Existenz. 1989 heiratete er Doris Morf, eine Schweizer Politikerin und Schriftstellerin.
André Kaminski erhielt 1987 den Mara-Cassens-Preis „Der erste Roman“ und 1990 die Ehrengabe der Stadt Zürich.
