Now Leib has replaced his magic flute with his phallus: it is love, longing, and the quest for sexual fulfillment that must stave off both his own death and the imminent destruction of the Jews. In \u003cem\u003eIce\u003c\/em\u003e he rescues the celebrated skater Sonja Henie from Hitler's clutches. In \u003cem\u003eFire\u003c\/em\u003e his paramour is Carmen Miranda. And in \u003cem\u003eWater\u003c\/em\u003e he engages in a South Sea Island intrigue with a famous swimming star of the 1940s. Meanwhile, in the present, Leib seeks consummation with three other inamoratas: Clara, his wife; \u003cem\u003eHustler\u003c\/em\u003e model Miss Crystal Knight; and the critic Michiko Kakutani (causing a real-life literary scandal). In this \"wickedly funny\" (\u003cem\u003eElle\u003c\/em\u003e) and no less heartbreaking novel, Leib Goldkorn emerges as one of American literature's most enduring, and endearing, creations.
