The Wild Marilyn Jerome Charyn
Isaac the Pure, as he was called by his enemies in the underworld and his supposed friends in the police, was a dynamic inspector, threatening, the most incorruptible, the most cynical and tough professional but at the same time tender. Tender in his own way, for the gang of kids who stole from the greengrocers, for the daughters of his old friends who became whores. Tender also for the Blue-Eyed, his assistant, who had only one injustice: he was in a relationship with the craziest, most independent and passionate girl in New York, the Wild Marilyn. But Marilyn was exactly Isaac's daughter. Which brought some complications. Isaac could handle the gang of the Jewish-Christian Guzmans from Peru, with anyone who showed up in the East Side and the Bronx, the wildest kingdom of New York, except for the Wild Marilyn - his daughter who collected husbands and divorces, who fell in love with her father's right hand, the irresistible Blue-Eyed - and Rupert - the clever and vengeful son of his old friend, Philip Weil - who along with Stanley - a Chinese former bouncer at a Republican club in Chinatown - and Esther Rose - a rebellious teenage Jewish girl - formed the gang with the lollipops aiming to violently end Isaac Seidel's reign. Jewish humor, baroque, delirious - these books cannot be described. The digressions are many, the characters with the graphic names multiple who make an appearance and then disappear after they have brought to life this theater full of life and polyphony that is Charyn's books. This crazy book - crazy like its heroine - opens the tetralogy of Isaac Seidel (1976). The Blue-Eyed, The Education of Patrick Silver, and The Secret Isaac will follow. They can be read all together or each separately and regardless of order, because what unites them is not so much a story, but a scent, a commotion, a color or rather a strip of colors. It is a large mural of New York that, with its Jewish humor, perhaps makes us think that the Marx Brothers, reborn, made a new baroque film, where an Irish Bruegel would have made the sets.
