Sobre este artículo
Nearly forgotten shortly after publication, this American Jewish classic was revived some thirty years later after receiving a front page review in The New York Times Book Review. Critics have since hailed the work as an overlooked masterpiece and "one of the great achievements of American writing this century" and the finest Jewish-American novel of the age (Parker & Kermode, 181).
Sinopsis
Call It Sleep is a 1934 novel by Henry Roth. Time magazine described it as "The story of three years in the life of a sensitive Jewish slum-child, told with painstaking and pain-giving fidelity," in the February 25, 1935 edition. While the book sold poorly upon its initial publication, the book received a second life when it was reviewed by literary critic Irving Howe on the front page of The New York Times Book Review on October 25, 1964, and has since sold over a million copies.
