Publisher Description: Eighteen comic stories of the American Jewish experience, featuring a pair of immigrant Jewish businessmen in early twentieth-century New York. The well-known writer H. L. Mencken said of these tales that they "are essentially character studies, and the humor in them grows out of character, and is not forced into it.... Its truth is even more assertive than its humor." Complete with an introduction and bibliography. |
