In his first collection of stories since Fabulous Small Jews,
Joseph Epstein delivers all the pleasures his readers have come to
expect: stories of ordinary men confronting the moments that define
a life, told with the bittersweet humor and loving irony
encompassed in the title of the book. These fourteen tales map a
very particular world--Jews whose lives are anchored in Chicago--in
rich, revealing detail even as they brim with universal longings:
complex love affairs and unspoken rivalries, family triumphs and
private disappointments. Epstein, who "happens to possess a standup
comic's gift for punch lines" (New York Times Book Review), brings
his emphatically grown-up characters to witty, rueful, and charming
life. The Love Song of A. Jerome Minkoff is a marvelous collection
from a master of the short form and one of the most distinctive
writers working in America today.
