THE FIVE BOOKS OF MOSES LAPINSKY
Book ID/图书代码： 11340305B00380
English Summary/英文概要： In researching the life of his boxer father Sonny, historian Moses Lapinsky uncovers a pivotal event. On a hot Toronto night in 1933, at an amateur baseball game at Christie Pits field, four Nazi youths flashed a large black swastika, shouting "Heil Hitler!" Within seconds, a group of Jewish youths charged at them, trying to grab the flag. One of the Nazi youths snatches back the banner and breaks free, running with the flag through the park, setting off a four-hour race riot involving 15,000 people, injuring hundreds, and sending scores to the hospital. In this panoramic novel, Karen X. Tulchinsky traces the fortunes of the Lapinskys from the evening of the riots through World War II and into the 1950s. It is then, in a boxing ring at Madison Square Garden, that Sonny Lapinsky must decide whether or not to reconcile with a family torn apart by a violent past — a decision that will affect generations to come, including his son and future biographer, Moses. Set against the Great Depression, race riots, and World War II, this family saga about a Jewish boy-cum-champion boxer is filled with humor, sorrow, bravery, folly, and the stuff of everyday life.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “我的爸爸是个职业拳击手，兴许你还听过他的名字，“攻击者”Sonny lapinsy。”
2003年， 一位名叫MOSES LAPINSKY、性情温和的历史学家开始为写传记整理笔记。这本书将以Sonng---他的爸爸，一位来自多伦多的著名犹太裔加拿大拳击手---为核心人物，而曾经有位当地记者在他那本低俗、低级趣味的作品中称他为“无情的拳击手”。MOSES开始埋头研究，渐渐地他发现自己走进了父亲的生活，感受到父亲人生中的重要时刻，其中就有1933年八月的某个炎热难熬的夜晚。那天晚上，CHRISTIE PITS 公园里正在举行一场垒球比赛，这时一群小年青掸开了一条床单，床单上印着一个黑色的纳粹党十字徽章，并奇声大喊：“喂，希特勒！”说时迟，那时快，犹太小伙子们冲向了挥舞着十字徽章的男孩子，就这样，引发了一场历时四小时、有15000人参与、成百上千人受伤的暴乱行为。LAPINSKY 四兄弟----SID，LENNY，和当时才九岁的SONNY 以及他们的小弟弟LZZY-----也在暴乱人群中。那些事情将永远改变LAPINSKY一家。
小说中有幽默、有悲伤、有荒唐事，也有勇气，更有平凡生活的无穷滋味，把LAPINSKY 一家的辉煌境遇------从CHRISTIE PITS 公园的暴乱讲起，他们如何走过大萧条和二战，进入五十年代----一一盘算。四位截然不同、性格迥异的兄弟，在一个不满伤心失落感同时又有无限幸福的世界里，挣扎在忠诚和家庭温暖的理想中。
