Synopsis of The Assistant

La segunda novela de Bernard Malamud, publicada originalmente en 1957, cuenta la historia de Morris Bober, un tendero en el Brooklyn de la posguerra, que "quiere algo mejor" para sí mismo y su familia. Primero aparecen dos ladrones y lo asaltan; luego las cosas mejoran cuando Frank Alpine, con la nariz rota, se convierte en su ayudante. Pero hay complicaciones: Frank, cuya reacción hacia los judíos es ambivalente, se enamora de Helen Bober; al mismo tiempo, empieza a robar en la tienda. Como las mejores historias de Malamud, esta novela evoca infaliblemente un mundo inmigrante de circunstancias difíciles y grandes expectativas. Malamud definió la experiencia del inmigrante de una manera que ha demostrado ser vital para varias generaciones de escritores.
