Zwei Leben, ein Dollarschein. Im Jahr 2008 räumt der Migrationsökonom Mark Romanovski die Bronx-Wohnung seiner verstorbenen Mutter aus und findet, zwischen den Seiten des Notizbuchs seines Urgro vaters, eine Banknote von 1918, deren Seriennummer auf 18 endet - die hebräischen Buchstaben, die lebendig bedeuten. Der Rabbiner, der ihn einst bei sich trug, nannte ihn Chaimke. Über ein Jahrhundert hinweg - Berditschew, Antwerpen, New York, Toronto - geht der Schein von Hand zu Hand durch ein jüdisches Migrationsnetz, während Mark in der Gegenwart ihre Geschichte schreibt und, ohne es je auszusprechen, mit David ein Leben aufbaut. Ein Roman über Migration als verborgene Architektur der Wirtschaft, über das, was Archive bewahren und verlieren, und über das, was wir tragen, wenn die Worte versagen. In der dokumentarischen Zurückhaltung von Grossman und Singer und der Indirektheit Isherwoods folgt Chaimke einem einzigen Geldschein, bis der Leser versteht, wer sein letzter Träger ist.
