Mercy of a Rude Stream tells the story of Ira Stigman, an immigrant boy, suffers a cruel Americanization process from 1914 through 1921 in a novel that deals with themes of Prohibition, anti-Semitism, racism, and the violence of sexuality. The title comes from a Shakespearean quotation which characterizes life as a 'tumultuous rude stream'. First Edition (1994), so stated. First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence.
