A bildungsroman set in Southern Africa, 'Between the Menorah and the Fever Tree' depicts the Jewish-African experience tracing the story of its protagonist 'Chungle' from boyhood in 1950s Rhodesia to youth in 1960s South Africa during the Apartheid era, and finally to America. Alternately uproarious and touching Chimowitz's first novel sets a story of family, friendship and identity against a backdrop of political and cultural upheaval. '...a story told with understated beauty and uncompromising honesty...'- Allen Peacock, editor of the Pulitzer Prize winning book A Good Scent from A Strange Mountain '...poignant, witty, evocative-a sepia image out of the African colonies brought to life. It transported me back to a time of innocence shot through with shards of anger and fear...' -Mark J. Kaplan, Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker
