What is Lead Pencil: Stories and Sketches by Berl Botwinik (English and Yiddish Edition) about?
Hardcover, Wayne State University Press, 170 pages. Translated from the Yiddish by Philip J. Klukoff. This is a collection of stories about Jewish immigrants in New York. The setting is the Lower East Side of Brownsville, during the early decades of the 20th century. These immigrants faced a new world with the values of the old, knowing that what they once had in another land would no longer be there for them. They, like other immigrants, faced the problems of Americanization, as well as alienation.
