"This was the very thing that my publisher had fretted over: no one would know what the word #treyf meant outside of New York City. It hasn‘t yet been dragged into the Yiddish-English lexicon, like schlep and schmuck and yutz and putz. No one at the reading would see the cover image of a three-year-old me sitting on the lap of the 1965 Macy‘s Santa and get the joke." #JewLit
so-soI mostly enjoyed this book but the narrative was often disjointed and jumped around the timeline without warning or any clear reason. It could be frustrating and I was never sure what the book was supposed to be about, and part of me thinks the author didn't, either. Not great, not bad. So-so. Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the opportunity to read and review! To be released Sept 20th.
so-soThank you @penguinrandomhouse for sending me the ARC. It was OK.
I've never heard this term before but I LOVE it!
I didn't keep any stats on the weekend but feel that @24in48 was a success -- despite taking time out for work and other things. Thank you @Litsy and everyone else on the #24in48 team.
