Stand-up Tragedian
a novel by Chaim Bertman
Stand-up Tragedian is the story of one mans decade-long quest to write a book. It is a coming-of-age storynot of childhood, but of the celebrated twenties.
Bertmans eye is trained toward the subtleties of desire, anecdote, and beauty. Each slice of perception is also a metaphysical proposition, cleanly reflected in his syntax. He is an anthropologist of the awkward.
