Hanan Alyalti (1910-1988) wrote in Hebrew and Yiddish about kibbutz life in Israel, the Civil War in Spain, Jewish life in Paris in the thirties and during World War II, and the post-war Jewish refugee experience in New York and Europe. Many of the stories in this volume were published during his lifetime in Commentary, Midstream, Jewish Frontier, and Short Story International, among others.This is the first English translation of the collection. The stories are richly evocative, and by turns humorous, poignant, and inspiring. The well-known Jewish humorist, Der Lebediger, wrote of Ayalti's work, All major characters are drawn with a skilled hand, and with a vivacious pen. An afterword by Daniel Klenbort, the author's son, tells of his father's life and work. A glossary defines Yiddish terms and identifies obscure references.
