Description

A great beard novel, a great food novel, and a melancholy book that is also hopelessly, miraculously, and unremittingly funny, Chaim Grade's Sons and Daughters is a masterful exploration of a world in turmoil. The novel chronicles the last decade of a world succumbing to the march of modernity, as a rabbi struggles to come to terms with the changing world around him. Through the eyes of Rabbi Sholem Shachne Katzenellenbogen, we witness the crumbling of his world, as his family members pursue their own paths and he is left to confront the enemies that are closest to home. With a cast of fretful characters that vibrate with life, Grade's novel is a poignant and humorous portrayal of a way of life that is rapidly disappearing. Originally serialized in the 1960s and 1970s in New York-based Yiddish newspapers, Sons and Daughters offers a precious glimpse into the rich Yiddish culture of Poland and Lithuania, a culture that was tragically eradicated by the Holocaust.
