An actor, imprisoned during the Red Scare for playing up his communist leanings to get a part with a leftist film director, is shamed by his act when he reunites with his precocious young son. An Israeli soldier, forced to defend a settlement filled with American religious families, still pines for a chance to discover the United States for himself. A young Israeli journalist, left unemployed after America's most recent economic crash, questions her life path when she begins dating a middle-aged widower still in mourning for his wife. And in the book's final story, a tour de force spanning three continents and three generations of women, a young American and her Israeli husband are forced to reconsider their marriage after the death of her dissident art-collecting grandmother. \u003cp\u003eAgain and again, Molly Antopol's deeply sympathetic characters struggle for footing in an uncertain world, hounded by forces beyond their control. Their voices are intimate and powerful and they resonate with searing beauty. Antopol is a superb young talent, and \u003cem\u003eThe UnAmericans\u003c\/em\u003e will long be remembered for its wit, humanity, and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Molly Antopol\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393241130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393241136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
