His failed plan, a mere footnote in Jewish-American history, is the starting point for Ben Katchor's brilliantly imagined epic that unfolds on the streets of New York a few years later. \u003cbr\u003eA disgraced kosher slaughterer, an importer of religious articles and women's hosiery, a pilgrim peddling soil from the Holy Land, a latter-day Kabbalist, a man with plans to carbonate Lake Erie--these are just some of the characters who move through Katchor's universe, their lives interwoven in a common struggle to settle into the New World even as it erupts into a financial frenzy that could as easily leave them bankrupt as carry them into the future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45408700334231,"sku":"9780375700972","price":1396.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780375700972.webp?v=1767310316","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-jew-of-new-york-9780375700972","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
