Michael Levy's "Kosher Chinese" came recommended by a cheerful bibliophile who runs a great restaurant. The cover looked like a big sushi with a picture of Mao on it. At the incredibly low price of a used book, why not?Readers, this is not a cookbook and that sushi is a yarmulka of an Orthodox Jew with a picture of Mao on it, the black seaweed wrapping actually Michael Levy's hair. This narrative of a 29 year old ESL/literature teacher's two years in China as a Peace Corps volunteer has plenty about eating, the alimentary canal, food and cuisine. These are incidental, compared to what else "Kosher Chinese" covers. The book is more concerned with friendships, the fiddler-on-the-roof quality of respecting an ancient, complex culture while "representing" the United States, and the dilemnas facing many us, wherever we live, when our reach exceeds our grasp however good our intentions.Levy is a fine writer and a man who goes with the flow. For example, his colleagues at the University in Guiyang initiate a Friday Shabbos, 'with Chinese characteristics.' In search of cheese for a pizza to be served by popular demand, Mike and his Chene colleague Jennifer pass through a meat market that leaves him queasy:"We listened to music until my stomach was completely settled and then entered the restaurant supply store. Towards the back, tucked into a corner, was a freezer. Inside the freezer were bricks of long-frozen cheese. I pulled out a two-foot long, twenty-five pound bag of frozen parmesan, feeling like Oliver Twist. It would be enough cheese for a year. "Now you can cook us pizza for Shabbat!" Jennifer was twitching with excitement...." (p.92)."Kosher Chinese" could be in itself, almost, a validation of relevance of the Peace Corps in the spinning political-economic globe of today. Even more, it is a reminder that way down deep,as well as close to the surface, the world has many caring, compassionate people who with humor, determination, and skill are themselves the bridges we need built----while having themselves & giving to others one heckuva memorable experience, composed of moments---like the picnic with the Wang sisters and the final basketball game---great and small.Any reader alerts? Remember this is a narrative story, not an analytic tale. It is produced as a basic book. There is no index, no maps, no heavy-weight paper, no photographs----and no recipes. For those, readers would need to select from among the five Chinese Kosher cookbooks liberally available through Amazon.Highly recommended for a page-turning read that nourishes mind and spirit. Write on, Mike Levy, and may the force be with you!
I have taught two semesters of university sophomore English in Shandong Province. My experiences paralleled the author's. It was refreshing (not to mention validating) to have someone else's take on life as an American teacher in China.Levy's book is gently written with self-deprecating good humor. The affection that grew for his Chinese students and friends over the two years that he taught is sensitively portrayed.Anyone would enjoy and benefit from reading this account of Peace Corp work in a provincial Chinese city. It makes sense of Chinese thoughts and customs that otherwise are baffling to the average Westerner.
Entertaining, page turner with a lot of heart and insights into the differences and similarities between cultures. I especially loved the author's treatment of the Wang sisters. I wanted to know what happens to each of the people he comes across, you care for their outcomes. He is able to build a real caring for his students and community he builds in China.
Michael Levy made me appreciate my toilet. His memoir, Kosher Chinese, is a comedic tale of when he, as a young peace corps volunteer from Philadelphia is placed in rural and mountainous Guiyang, China, and navigates his way through a new culture, strange foods and his teaching job at the local university -- all while maintaining his Jewish values. He sums up his first minutes in his new home by writing about the airport bathrooms. He describes singing Country Roads while waiting on the bathroom line, then gives a detailed explanation of his experience with a Chinese squat toilet. The characters in the book steal the show. No one can forget Big Twin and little Twin along with Cousin Wang, the teenage girls Mike (as everyone calls him in the book) meets who keep him updated information about Chinese Pop-culture. Vivian, his new found friend and local teacher, who, when asked about communism, says, "Walmart is the future, and Chairman Mao is the past." Kosher Chinese puts a unique twist on the classic fish-out-of-water story. Mike, to his students, is the wisest authority in any subjects, not just English. If any of his students need romantic advice, they go to him. They also ask many questions about America. He is also pulled into an educator in the Jewish religion to all who join the Jewish Friday Night English and Cooking Corner Club for his students that want to learn more about Judaism (that he was amicably forced into starting). They cook kosher foods and talk about the differences between America and China and practice speaking to one an other in their foreign language. I found myself talking out loud to the characters in the book warning them not to "go in the closet".Kosher Chinese has factual and historical information woven into a comical memoir. You learn about some views on communist China while also reading about his long journey to find cheese in his city so you don't feel like you're researching China or being recruited for the Peace Corps. The story is unique enough to China that you appreciate than antics that go on, but also a little universal so connections can be made with all walks of life.This book is for young adults and adults. You don't even have to know anything about China. (I knew barely anything except for what I heard from the media and all around me.) Though many people can enjoy it, it is particularly funny if you are associated with Judaism, as the author gives many jokes relating to the religion. I implore you to read this book. This novel goes beyond the superficiality of "serving the less fortunate" and gives a real and zany account of living in a strange place and having to adapt to a new culture and way of life. Kosher Chinese is a cut above the rest.
This book was well written and provided much detail about an American living in a rural part of China. I didn't want the two year teaching term the author was assigned and, therefore the book, to end! Throughout the story, the author develops the other characters, as well as himself, and makes the reader want to know what happens to everyone involved.
