Lauded as the most profound novel of Jewish life ever written by an American, Call It Sleep seamlessly weaves together the searing pains and subtle joys of immigrant life in New York’s Lower East Side. It is the story of David Schearl, a dangerously imaginative little boy who arrives from Eastern Europe in 1907. Shock by shock, he is exposed to the blows - and occasional pleasures - of life in the crowded tenements.

I would highly recommend this modernist story which seems so autobiographical!

If people had been able to listen to the performance when it came out in 1935 (?), it most certainly would be one of the greatest masterpieces of American literature, IMO/
masterful reading by George Guidall...i doubt I...

Would you try another book from Henry Roth and/or George Guidall?
No more Henry Roth. Yes to George Guidall as I love his voice.What was most disappointing about Henry Roth’s story?
It promised to give me a look into the life of a jewish child immigrant living in New York. It didn"t. The story is full of half thoughts and sentences which I could not understand. More than half of the book is about "Mama, oh, oh, oh".Which character – as performed by George Guidall – was your favorite?
The rabbi.You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No.Any additional comments?
No.nothing there
