I Am From Brownsville

The classic story collection brings to life a close-knit Jewish neighborhood of Brooklyn as a group of boys make their journey to adulthood. In these thirteen stories Arthur Granit introduces readers to the lost world of Brownsville as it was in the 1920s. As neighborhood boys grow up together through adventures and misadventures, friendships and trials, Granit observes their evolution against the backdrop of a changing city. Here is the wild humor—and occasional sadness—of life in a teeming Brooklyn Jewish community.
