5.0 out of 5 stars
The funniest growing-up-Jewish-in-the-depression novel ever
This novel does everything that a novel can do--Joycean in its range--while remaining utterly realistic and so funny you could die. Best to read on a solitary vacation--if not you will alienate anyone you are with by insisting on reading aloud longer and longer passages.

This window needs windex
Sorry I started the book. It had been highly recommended, but the author's use of spurious dialogue made reading a chore. Finally put it down when I saw it wasn't going anywhere.

Hysterical -- both clinically and comedically,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teitlebaum's Window (Paperback)
I agree with Mark Rutherford - if you don't recognize this milieu and these characters, you are not an American Jewish male of eastern European extraction born in a large U.S. city between 1925 and 1955. Breathtakingly funny, and a kick in the kishkes, too.
