Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In stories that draw heavily on her own life, Anzia Yezierska (1880-1970) portrays the immigrant's struggle to become a "real" American. Set mostly on New York's Lower East Side, the stories brilliantly evoke crowded streets, shabby tenements, poverty, and ethnic prejudice. These stories are still relevant today, except the ethnic backgrounds are Latino and Asian.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. xxxv-xxxvi).

Table of Contents

Wings — Hunger — The lost "beautifulness" — The free vacation house — The miracle — Where lovers dream — Soap and water — "The fat of the land" — My own people — How I found America.
