Description

These bittersweet and humorous stories describe Myron's world, a world shared by first generation Americans who lived in the poor neighborhoods of New York during the Depression. Myron, a timid but bright 12-year old Jewish boy, is caught between his father wanting him to be "100% American" and his mother wanting him to hold fast to his tradition. A frightened Myron encounters a crippled neighbor who beats his wife with his crutch. They both gain as a surprising friendship grows between the two of them. Uncle Solly, Myron's hero, shows him the world of bookmaking, wrestling and violence. Myron becomes enlightened when he realizes his traditional values are more solid than his Uncle's. Myron matures quickly as he witnesses a reconciliation between an unemployed fabric cutter and his daughter who has turned to prostitution to provide money for the family. Included are sketches of Jewish waiters and salesmen, storekeepers, a city detective and some Sicilian immigrants who in some magical way are able to grow orange trees in their back yards. After many humorous and heartwarming adventures, Myron makes a surprising discovery. His simple and traditional values have provided him with the strength of character he needs to deal with the world.
