To be poor is bad enough; to be a poor Jew is a crime.

A novel of a writer now recognized as one of the most
powerful talents on the American literary scene.

Frank Alpine, a drifter fleeing from his past, runs straight
into struggling Brooklyn grocer Morris Bober. Seeing a chance to atone for past
sins, Frank becomes Bober's assistant and keeps shop when the owner takes ill.
But it is Bober's daughter, Helen, who gives Frank a real reason to stay
around, even as he begins to steal from the store.

Widely considered as one of the great American-Jewish
novels, The Assistant is a classic look at the social and racial divides of a
country still in its infancy, and a stunning evocation of the immigrant
experience - of cramped circumstances and great expectations.

Format ca: 18x11x1 cm. 216 pages.
