Kidnapped in 1867 Nebraska by Ponca Indians while on a trading mission, young immigrant Julius Meyer uses his gift for languages to become the invaluable interpreter for Chief Standing Bear. Drawing on actual historical events and figures-Julius Meyer became a translator for many prominent Indian chiefs, and Alexander Herrmann was a famous magician--Kolpan weaves an enthralling tale of adventure featuring larger-than-life characters, without trite Western stereotypes. Readers who loved Kolpan's Etta should enjoy this new work; it will also appeal to fans of Loren D. Estleman's Westerns and Thomas Berger's Little Big Man., Kolpan's novel rollicks along with a hugecast, colorful locales, and a jolly sense of fun. An entertaining romp through the world of Victorianshowmanship of particular appeal to fans of comic westerns., "Magic Words is a complicated, breathlessly plotted fictional take on the American Jewish experience unlike anything we've seen from Philip Roth, Chaim Potok, Saul Bellow, or Bernard Malamud...To quote the great prestidigitator (and actor and director) Orson Welles: "What makes a good magician? He's the man who can get that rabbit out in time." In Magic Words, Gerald Kolpan does precisely that.", Kolpan deepens his inquiry into overlooked figures of the Old West in his secondhistorical novel, resurrecting Julius Meyer, the renowned translator for NativeAmerican leaders, and world-famous magicians Compars and Alexander Herrmann.Kolpan offerssensitive revelations of the horrific suffering of Native Americans forced fromtheir homelands, crimes and tragedies he thoughtfully parallels with thebloodshed and exile endured by Jews. In all, a distinctively insightful andbewitching work of compassionate historical fiction by an adept novelist onehopes has lots more tricks up his sleeves.

Synopsis
In a riveting novel of love and adventure, young Julius Meyer comes to the New World to find himself acting as translator for the famed Indian chief Standing Bear., Young Jewish immigrant Julius comes of age surrounded by the wild world of 1867 Nebraska. He befriends the mysterious Prophet John, who saves his life when the two are captured by the Ponca Indian tribe. Living as a slave, Julius meets the noble chief Standing Bear and his young daughter, Prairie Flower, with whom he falls in love. Becoming the tribe's interpreter--its "speaker"--his life seems safe and settled. But Julius has reckoned without the arrival of his older cousin, Alexander--who, as the Great Herrmann, is the most famous young magician in America. Nor does he suspect the ultimate consequences of Alex's affair with Lady-Jane Little Feather, a glamorous--and murderous--prostitute destined to become the most scandalous woman on two continents. Filled with adventure, humor, and colorful characters, Magic Words is a riveting adventure about the nature of prejudice, the horror of genocide, and a courageous young man who straddles two worlds to fight for love and freedom., In a riveting novel of love and adventure, young Julius Meyer comes to the New World to find himself acting as translator for the famed Indian chief Standing Bear.
