The Rise of David Levinsky
First published in 1917, Abraham Cahan's realistic novel tells the story of a young talmudic scholar who emigrates from a small town in Russia to the melting pot of turn-of-the-century New York City. As the Jewish "greenhorn" rises from the depths of poverty to become a millionaire garment merchant, he discovers the unbearably high price of assimilation.

Recently read The Rise of David Levinsky, and having made the mistake of learning nothing about the author before reading it, I spent much of the book thinking, "Holy shit, this dude is horrible," before I finally read about the author and realized, yeah, that's kinda the point.
Praise for this book
