«Pour soulager d'irrésistibles appétits» is a collection of short stories by Nathan Englander, published by Plon in paperback (236 pages, in French).
Nine stories about the Jewish experience ranging from contemporary Brooklyn to Stalin's Russia and the ghettos of the Second World War. A writer arrested by Stalinist police or a group of Jews fleeing the ghetto disguised as comedians are some stories where the tragic coexists with the comic and the absurd.
The book belongs to the Feux croisés collection from Plon. In 2000 it won the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction and was a finalist for the Jewish Quarterly-Wingate Prize.
Aimed at readers of short stories and contemporary Jewish fiction, in the vein of Isaac Bashevis Singer and Saul Bellow.
