New York: The Macaulay Company. Fair. 1931. First American Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [moderately worn book, some surface deterioration to cloth along bottom edge and on spine, pp.73-76 partially torn (still attached), last page of text detached from binding; a reading copy only]. Multi-generational Jewish family saga, set in New York, following the fortunes and misfortunes of the three sons of an immigrant couple. The perceptive Chicago Tribune critic Fanny Butcher wrote of the novel: "Mr. Pinski writes with a crisp, unembroidered, factual style which has little beauty but which has a certain violent power. It is the English of a man who is not completely at home in the language, a writer who has learned his English through conversation rather than through reading, perhaps." Or perhaps "conversation" was a more natural mode for the Russian-born Pinski, a major Yiddish playwright and prolific short-story writer, who lived in New York from 1899 until he emigrated to Israel in 1949; this was only his second published novel (of three). .
