When the young narrator of Miriam Karpiloves A Provincial Newspaper leaves New York to work for a new Yiddish newspaper in Massachusetts, she expects to be treated with respect as a professional writer. Instead, she finds herself underpaid and overworked. In this slapstick novella, Karpiloves narrator lampoons the gaggle of blundering publishers and editors who put her through the ringer and spit her back out again. Along with A Provincial Newspaper, this captivating collection includes nineteen stories originally published in Forverts in the 1930s, during Karpiloves time as a staff writer at that newspaper. In the stories, we find a large cast of charactersan older woman navigating widowhood, a writer rebuffed by dismissive audiences, Americanborn Jewish girls unable to communicate with Yiddishspeaking immigrants, and a painter so overcome with jealousy about his muses potential lover that he misses his opportunity with hereach portrayed with both sympathy and irony, in ways unexpected and delightful. Also included are Karpiloves recollections of her arrival in Palestine in 1926, chronicled with the same buoyant cynicism and witty repartee that is beloved by readers of her fiction.
