Fathers

This is the best selling novel originally published in 1966. What the New York Times called Herbert Gold's "best and most deeply felt" book. Fathers tells the most American of stories: how one American, transplanted from Europe, makes his success in the new land. A paean to the father, the novel gathers many worlds; the village life of the old country, the ghetto of New York, early days of the century in Cleveland, the depression, the passion of World War II, and the father's final, and finally successful days in the '60s.
