Grove Press continues the reissue of Bruce Jay Friedman's critically acclaimed fiction with two classic novels by the comedic genius. Friedman's first novel, "Stern, " tells the story of a young Jewish man who relocates his family from the city to the suburbs, where they are besieged by voracious caterpillars and a bigotry that ranges from the genteel snub to outright confrontation.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Reissued Edition. Reissued Edition (1983.) Hardcover with dust jacket. 8vo with 191 pages. Signed to film producer Martin Ransohoff on front free end paper, "For Joan & Marty with love Bruce J. Friedman." The book is in very good condition. Interior is clean and tight. The dust jacket is in good condition with some shelf wear and fading to spine. Martin Ransohoff (1927-2017) was an American film and television producer. His early TV successes (Beverly Hillbillies and Mr. Ed) enabled him to produce movies like The Americanization of Emily, The Sandpiper, The Cincinnati Kid, The Fearless Vampire Killers, Ice Station Zebra, Castle Keep, Catch-22, Silver Streak, and Jagged Edge among others. Friedman (1930-2020) once got into a quarrel with fellow writer Norman Mailer at the latter's house party. It turned physical when Mailer head butted him and Mailer's wife egged him on to "kill the bastard." Although Friedman eventually prevailed in the fistfight, he had to receive a tetanus shot after Mailer bit him in the neck. Brown spine/white text. #031555 Size: 8vo. Signed. Fiction.
