4.0 out of 5 stars
A pleasure to read,
By Warren Shapiro (Fair Harbor, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: With Hitler in New York and Other Stories (Hardcover)
I found this book at a garage sale for $1. It's a nice collection of stories by a young writer in the 1970s. Some of the pop culture references are dated, but if you substitute today's current TV celebrities, it shows you nothing much changes. Much of the book is funny, although the stories that are insightful portraits of women probably ring the most true. The book has a lot of energy but sometimes it runs out of gas and you lose your patience with the author's corny jokes -- i.e., the Jewish grandmother who says one grandson is a doctor and the other is "in medicine" (he lives in "Medicine, Wisconsin").
