The Tether

(no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, light wear to extremities, some soiling to top of text block, rear hinge just starting]. "Short and tragic life of a young Jewish immigrant in Boston" (Hanna 490). "A young man abandons his father to get an American education and marry an American woman, but both endeavors fail as does his attempt to reconcile with his father." (Simone 330). Never heard of Ezra S. Brudno . Me neither! But Wikipedia, bless 'em, enlightened me: "Brudno was born in Valozhyn (present-day Belarus) in 1877. His parents were Isaac Brudno and Hannah Model. His family emigrated to the United States in 1891 where they settled in Ohio. He attended Adelbert College and Yale University where he obtained a law degree. He began practicing in Cleveland in 1901 and in 1909 became an assistant district attorney. During his law practice he started to write. His first novel called "The Fugitive" was published in 1904. His literary efforts were published in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine and locally in the Jewish Review & Observer. In his writings he portrayed Judaism and Jewish culture as having little value and promoted the assimilation of Jews into western civilization." Smith, American Fiction, 1901-1925, B-1133.
