Title: This is an amazing work
Product review: Maxine Rodburg comes from Philip Roth country, both as a writer and a person. But she has added a new dimension to the the short story, and to the literature of place and time. Set in Jewish neighborhoods in an around neighborhood, this very powerfully written collection of short stories captures a rapidly changed world from the eyes of an equisitely sensitive young girl. This is the Newark, and the America, of the pre-60's, pre-riots era, captured at the precise moment that it changes forever. It's also a wonderful story about growing up, about the fragile place of religion, culture and family in a sometimes brutal and incomprehensible. If the publishing world were sane this would be on the NYTimes best-seller list intead of all the junk that's there. But we're lucky to be able to get and read it anyway. And nobody will ever regret experiencing this amazing and touching work. This is true literature.
