First published in 1936, The People of Godlbozhits depicts the
ordinary yet deeply complex life of a Jewish community, following
the fortunes of one family and its many descendants. Set in a
shtetl in Poland between the world wars, Rashkin's satiric novel
offers a vivid cross-section not only of the residents' triumphs
and struggles but also of their dense and complicated web of
humanity. With biting humor and acerbic wit, Rashkin portrays the
stratified society- the petty bourgeoisie, artisans, and
proletariat-observing the crookedness at every level. The novel's
brisk and oftentimes lively Yiddish prose and its colorful and
irascible cast of characters give readers a Yiddish Yoknapatawpha
in all its tragic absurdity.
