American author, a classic in Jewish-American literature. Critical reactions to the novel were positive, but as a result of the Depression, his publisher went bankrupt and the book disappeared from view. It was reissued in the 1960s and recognized belatedly as an important novel of the 1930s. = Henry Roth 720 – Named activity during bed = Call it sleep 721 – The landscape's primary tee-off = Nature’s First Green 722 – Changing nature: a melting of views. = Shifting landscape: A composite 723 – Out of slavery = From bondage Last edited by Grey_Wolf : 01-13-2007 at 11:53 AM. |
