Description
OUT OF THE BRONX, a stunning collection of stories by Jerome Kass, follows Joel Sachs, from his childhood and coming of age in the Bronx to his adult life in Manhattan. Along the way we encounter his friends and lovers and, most of all, his painfully sad and funny Jewish family: his father, Lou, an inveterate gambler; his mother, Rose, whose anger toward Lou is often tempered by her need to take care of him; Joel's older sister, Fanny, whose sense of being unloved makes her want to tear the family apart; and his beautiful younger sister, Gloria, who will end up uncovering the family's deepest secrets. And, of course, there is Joel, who as a boy tries to hold the family together and make the abnormal seem normal—and as a man seeks to break free from the people and places that still have him in their grip.

Advance Praise
"Jerome Kass always writes from the heart. He hitches real life to his pages—real people who love, yearn, fight, drive each other insane, and make family. OUT OF THE BRONX is the latest example of his compassionate talent for observation and story telling"—Susan Stamberg, Special Correspondent, National Public Radio. "Jerome Kass's OUT OF THE BRONX brilliantly takes you through Joel Sachs and his family's life together over the years, chapter by chapter, story by story. With great insight and honesty, Kass lets you see how funny, sexy, sad, and wonderful it all is—just like life itself."—Julie Kavner, Actress on RHODA, in six Woody Allen films, and the voice of Marge Simpson.
