Myers

Michael Myers sometimes considers the virtues of vegetarianism.He is a butcher, his father Asher Enzel Katsov is a butcher, his sons David and Israel are butchers.Fifty-year-old Michael - known as Michl Murs until his inner pragmatist caused him to adopt the anglicised Michael Myers - stands in London's Smithfield market with boots sinking into the putrid mud, its stench carried upwards by steam. His ears are filled with the sound of squealing cattle and screeching swine.'Myers' follows the loss of Jewish culture along one line of the Myers family from London's east end to modern Australia.
