Teitlebaum's Window - Paperback
by Wallace Markfield (Author)
Welcome to Brighton Beach of the 1930s and early '40s as filtered through Simon Sloan, from youth to would-be artist-as-a-young-man at Brooklyn College to the eve of his induction into the army. Wallace Markfield perfectly captures this Jewish neighborhood--its speech, its people, its unique zaniness.
But like any masterpiece--Joyce's Dubliners comes readily to mind--Teitlebaum's Window both survives and expands upon its time and place. While remaining rooted in the specifics of its own world, thirty-seven years after first being published it teems with Markfield's inventiveness, hilarity, and singular voice.
Wallace Markfield (1926-2002) was one of the most important Jewish-American writers of the twentieth century.
