In one of her strongest works of fiction yet, Nicole Krauss plunges fearlessly into the struggle to understand what it is to be a man and what it is to be a woman, and the arising tensions that have existed from the very beginning of time. Set in our contemporary moment, and moving across the globe from Switzerland, Japan, and New York City to Tel Aviv, Los Angeles, and South America, the stories in To Be a Man feature male characters as fathers, lovers, friends, children, seducers, and even a lost husband who may never have been a husband at all.

Jules Epstein, a man whose drive, avidity, and outsized personality have, for 68 years, been a force to be reckoned with, is undergoing a metamorphosis. In the wake of his parents' deaths, his divorce from his wife of more than 30 years, and his retirement from the New York legal firm where he was a partner, he's felt an irresistible need to give away his possessions, alarming his children and perplexing the executor of his estate. With the last of his wealth, he travels to Israel with a nebulous plan to do something to honor his parents.

Julian Epstein er forsvundet fra jordens overflade. De eneste spor, han efterlader sig, er en nedslidt lejlighed samt en kuffert med monogram, fundet i ørkenen. Epsteins forsvinden markerer afslutningen på den forvandling, hans familie gradvist har været vidne til: I kølvandet på sine forældres død, skilsmissen fra sin kone gennem mere end 35 år og sin pensionering fra et advokatfirma, får den velhavende Epstein nemlig en uimodståelig trang til at skille sig af med alle sine værdier og ejendele.

Con una sabia mezcla de humor y ternura, Nicole Krauss relata una hermosa aproximación a los temas del amor, la pérdida y la memoria, además de un homenaje a la literatura y a la forma en que los libros pueden cambiar la vida de las personas.
