A lyrical and candid novel about the unstable work of remembering.

Haunted by the recent death of his wife, Bella, renowned Israeli writer and Holocaust survivor Adam Schumacher sets out on a journey to chronicle their love story before it's too late. Decades after he fled the Nazis, Adam returns to Germany, where he confronts his past and his rapidly eroding memory.

Somber and surreal, Delicate unfurls Adam's distorted memories and fever dreams against the backdrop of modern Germany, where traces of history linger beneath daily life. Blending fact and fantasy, Adam summons fairy tales and bits of everyday culture as he attempts to compose his final testimony—and, in the process, to grieve all he has lost.

Delicate invites readers to reflect on the power and limitations of language, and what happens when the memories of those who've shaped our present begin to dissolve.

Ayin Press will release an exclusive early edition of Delicate through Jewish Book Council's Nu Reads in the fall of 2026. The book will be available to broader audiences in Spring 2027.
