Summary: A Useful Addition to Yezierska's Works in Print
Comment: It's good to see Yezierska getting so much attention these days, and even better to see her books back in print. Hungry Hearts is the collection which earned Yezierska a Hollywood contract and gave her the title "Cinderella of the Tenements," but her skills with the short story are not as strong as her skills with the novel. If you are just getting interested in Yezierska, I'd recommend Bread Givers or Salome of the Tenements, both of which have also recently been reprinted.

Summary: Immigrant girl speaks truth for two centuries.
Comment: I opened up this book by Anzia Yezierska and fell in love. I fell in love with the words of a writer who is present and accountable and alive in every sentence. Never before have I been so disarmed by the passion and fire contained within and behind the words of any writer. It's as though she couldn't wait to get each word down, attacking the paper in describing her immigrant experiences, her neighbors, her family, herself. Because Anzia Yezierska was not afraid to expose her soul, I was taken on a journey that walked me though the life of one proud, passionate, immigrant woman. I was able to hear her fears, triumphs, pain and disappointments through her authentic and authorative voice. Passionate and real. I would recommend this book to anyone.
