A novel told in the voice of a Jewish folk singer about the unspeakable sufferings of the Russian Jews "... of pogroms depriving them of their homes, of persecution in the lands to bricks they flee; of punishment without crime and poverty without prospects; and worst, most suffocating of all, the everlasting sensation, in Russia and Romania, Egypt and France, of being spied upon, of being discriminated against – of being hounded." -- from the front fold over panel blurb.
