The Mazur Street Fools

When the dust settled, only a Jew, a Christian, and an unwritten book remained. Paris, 2001. Yankel - a blind bookseller who asks his lovers to read to him in bed - is visited by Eryk, his childhood friend. They haven't seen each other since a terrible incident during the German occupation in the small town where they grew up - and in whose forest they ran wild to see who would reach Shionka's heart first. Eryk - now a famous writer - is ill and doesn't want to die without writing the book that will redeem him. For this, however, he needs the memory of his Jewish friend, who always saw far beyond his blindness. For months, the light will remain on in the Thibault Bookstore. As Yankel and Eryk delve into the past under the meticulous gaze of Vivienne - the editor who doesn't tell everything she knows - the story of a city that was always on a knife's edge will come to light; a city of Christians and Jews, of the sane and the insane, occupied by Soviets and Germans, where one day barbarity ran wild through the streets and nothing was ever the same again.
