- Summary:
- Nick Blud, a Boston physician receives a phone call from Ada Kruk, the mother of a boyhood friend. Ada summons Nick back to his old Ukranian-American New Jersey neighborhood, where something unspeakable has just happened--exactly what, no one is willing to say. A harrowing tale about friendship and love, America and the immigrant's dream, "Ambassador of the Dead" is an unflinching meditation on exile, assimilation and the price of love.
