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
