In his first collection of stories since "Fabulous Small Jews" (2004), Joseph Epstein delivers all the pleasures his readers have come to expect -- stories of ordinary men confronting the moments that define a life, told with the bittersweet humor and loving irony encompassed in the title of the book. These fourteen tales map a very particular world - the Jewish community of Chicago - in rich, revealing detail, even as they brim with universal longings: complex love affairs and unspoken rivalries, family triumphs and private disappointments. Epstein, who "happens to possess a stand-up comic's gift for punch lines" ("The New York Times Book Review"), brings his emphatically grown-up characters to witty, rueful, and charming life. "The Love Song of A. Jerome Minkoff" is a marvelous collection from a master of the short form and one of the most distinctive writers working in America today.
