WITH 8 PAGES OF FULL-COLOR PHOTOGRAPHS AND BLACK-AND-WHITE IMAGES THROUGHOUTThe former owner/proprietor of the beloved appetizing store on Manhattan’s Lower East Side tells the delightful; mouthwatering story of an immigrant family’s journey from a pushcart in 1907 to “New York’s most hallowed shrine to the miracle of caviar; smoked salmon; ethereal herring; and silken chopped liver†(The New York Times Magazine). When Joel Russ started peddling herring from a barrel shortly after his arrival in America from Poland; he could not have imagined that he was giving birth to a gastronomic legend. Here is the story of this “Louvre of lox†(The Sunday Times; London): its humble beginnings; the struggle to keep it going during the Great Depression; the food rationing of World War II; the passing of the torch to the next generation as the flight from the Lower East Side was beginning; the heartbreaking years of neighborhood blight; and the almost miraculous renaissance of an area from which hundreds of other family-owned stores had fled. Filled with delightful anecdotes about how a ferociously hardworking family turned a passion for selling perfectly smoked and pickled fish into an institution with a devoted national clientele; Mark Russ Federman’s reminiscences combine a heartwarming and triumphant immigrant saga with a panoramic history of twentieth-century New York; a meditation on the creation and selling of gourmet food by a family that has mastered this art; and an enchanting behind-the-scenes look at four generations of people who are just a little bit crazy on the subject of fish.Color photographs © Matthew Hranek

Review
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. strange but...By CurtAbout a half or so of the book is incredible; the other half of the content is rather bizarre... it's clear he dashed it off; but for a dash-off it's impressive. He talks about "Jews" as if he knows ... but... nevertheless; his theoretical insights into the assignation of otherness and the psychological binds thereby caused are still relevant today and serve as a framework for race studies.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I reference this book a lotBy Razor"If the Jew did not exist; the Anti-Semite would have to create him."This is a pretty insightful book on hate; and the seeds of Sartre's philosophy on identity find soil here. A lot of people know that being Anti-Semetic is foolish; but Sartre illustrates pretty well why it's foolish on a lot of different dimensions in respect to the concept of identity. In my opinion it also gives the reader some insight into the history of Anti-Semiticism.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
