David Unger

David Unger's novel, The Price of Escape (Akashic, $15.95) depicts three days in the life of Samuel Berkow, a German Jew who leaves Nazi Germany by boat in 1938 to Guatemala where he hopes to remake his life in the New World.  But he must overcome a host of depraved creatures—petty thieves, liars, prostitutes, defrocked priests and anti-Semites—scheming to destroy him.  Unger is considered one of Guatemala’s major living writers even though he writes exclusively in English.
