Summary: An evocative memoir of growing up in Worcester, Mass.
Comment: This reprint of the original (1954) much-praised memoir by the playwright S. N. Behrman contains photos, which the original lacked. Behrman grew up in 1890 - 1915 Worcester, Massachusetts, in a Jewish enclave of immigrants, alongside similar neighborhoods of Swedish-, Irish-, Italian-, and other European-Americans in this bustling industrial city 50 miles west of Boston. Behrman went on to become a highly popular playwright and essayist - this memoir arose from the acclaim following the publication of shorter pieces in The New Yorker magazine. It is especially interesting - and moving - as another century nears its end. Some of the episodes recounted are hilarious, some poignant, all compelling. You don't have to Jewish - or from Worcester - to be charmed by these memories. And you can find out why even in a tiny community of Jews, there are always at least two synagogues!
