Imagine being an immortal and knowing that you had to share your 6,000-year existence with your mother and grandmother. Imagine if you were forced to watch the follies of humanity while causing problems of your own with famous figures from history. Welcome to the world of Isidore Glassman, Izzy to his friends, in this politically incorrect romp through history, as seen from the perspective of a Jewish vampire. Yes, a Jewish vampire. Sometimes intellectual, often irreverent, and constantly hilarious, this story will make you rethink the way you look at vampires. Memoirs of a Jewish Vampire: 6,000 Years of Kvetching projects a full-frontal assault on political correctness. Meet Izzy's best friends, Jerry and Shlomo, his mother who is frequently drunk and always embarrassing, and his beloved grandmother, Bubbe. Russell Andresen was motivated to write this book "due to my hatred of political correctness and my hobby of mocking historical events. What better way to do so than with a 6,000-year-old vampire?" A commodities broker at the World Trade Center who survived 9/11, he then became a chef, and is now retired and disabled from a 9/11-related illness. "I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, in a diverse neighborhood with loving Jewish grandparents and sometimes stand-offish Norwegian ones. It could be said that I'm a "Jewegian." This is the author's fourth book. His next focuses on "I wish I was a fly on the wall."
