In Fabulous Small Jews, the best-selling author Joseph Epstein has produced eighteen charming, magical, and finely detailed stories. They are populated by lawyers, professors, scrap-iron dealers, dry cleaners, all men of a certain age who feel themselves adrift in the radically changed values of the day. Epstein's richly drawn characters are at various crossroads and turning points in their lives: bitter Seymour Hefferman, who anonymously sends scathing postcards to writers until he gets caught; Moe Bernstein, who, inspired by his grandson, decides to attend to his own health after long delay; divorc??? Artie Glick, who wants to marry his pregnant girlfriend. Fabulous Small Jews is a marvelous collection from a master of the short form.

Epstein is a great short story writer. In this book consisting of about a dozen short stories of Chicago Jews who come from all walks of life he spins tales that intrigue and amaze. The best one is the first one which contrasts the life attitudes of two old geezers who live in a retirement home. It turns out that one man named Shindler is a pessimist and misanthrope who sees life as a half empty glass while Felix-(note: the latin for happy) has had a life of singular adversity but has an optimistic outlook.
The ending is sad but spectacular ! Quite a lot from two old geezers ! David A R
