内容简介

A spectacular, lavishly comic send-up of every solemn Jewish family saga ever written. Simon Sloan records this story of growing up in Brooklyn in his "Journal-Diary." He takes the reader through the 1930s and 1940s as he interacts with the people in his life: Clare, Maxine, and Helene, the women with whom he spends his adolescence; Malvena, his mother who was so consumed with motherhood that she ate certain foods to enrich the flavor of her milk; Teitlebaum, the kosher deli owner in whose window Simon and the reader are informed of the various happenings of the times. A huge, extravagantly real and comic and life-embracing novel.
