Myriam ou la joie de vivre, a short story from Catherine Fuhg in l’Abécédaire incomplet de l’humour juif…
Summary:
Pariente Deborah, a translator of books and of Jewish origin, lives with her four kids in Paris. Raised as a child of communist parents, she embraces a non-religious, non-Jewish lifestyle. She calls herself Veronica, is trying to settle her third marriage through divorce, smokes like a chimney, never eats kosher and even works on Sabbath! But one day, the four children announce that they decided to celebrate Yom-Kippur. Not only that but they even want to carry the star of David! Veronica is thrown into religious family chaos! The closer they get to Hanukkah, 25th December, Deborah begins to see how hard it is to escape her Jewish roots.
The humorous and witty book tells of the transformative power of love and the way children force you to confront your insecurities. It touches on fundamental themes such as fear of change and religious identity but also broaches current issues like single-parenting.
