In a restaurant family, you're never just hungry--you're starving
to death. And you're never full--you're stuffed. Patricia Volk's
Austrian-Jewish family is as American as "Rhapsody in Blue." They
came to these shores determined to make their mark, and each of
them is a piquant morsel of history. Great grandfather Sussman Volk
brought pastrami to the New World. Grandfather Jacob was
memorialized by as "the greatest wrecker of all time" for his
innovative method of demolition. Uncle Albert was the first man to
stir scallions into cream cheese. One grandmother was a 300-pound
calendar girl. The last of Grandfather Herman Morgen's fourteen
restaurants was a famous garment-center hangout. For three
generations, just about every Volk and Morgen has, no matter what
the circumstances, exhibited a terrifyingly positive attitude. With
a cosmic disdain for the status quo, all of them--the tyrants,
do-gooders, lovers, martyrs, and fakes--lived at full tilt. Stuffed
is a wildly funny yet unsparing look at how families work.
