About this title

Synopsis

"Somewhere between Isaac Bashevis Singer and Morey Amsterdam."—Kirkus Reviews

Two Jews were on a train: "All Eastern European Jewish jokes start this way, or almost," says Adam Biro, who has assembled this rich volume of such stories, tales in which—thanks to a masterful translation by Catherine Tihanyi—we can hear the voices of generations using humor to teach about the delicacy, anguish, and unpredictability of life itself.

About the Author

Adam Biro is a French publisher and author who was born in Hugary. His previous books include Dictionnaire g�n�ral du surr�alisme et de ses environs (coedited with Ren� Passeron) and Tsigane.

Catherine Tihanyi is a research associate in the Department of Anthropology at Western Washington University.
