Through David's hypersensitive consciousness, Henry Roth illuminates the terror and wonder of immigrant life — the crushing poverty of the Lower East Side, the violence of his volatile father, and the tender refuge found in his mother's love. Written in a richly poetic, stream-of-consciousness style that draws comparisons to James Joyce, the novel captures the cacophony of multiple languages and dialects to render the immigrant experience with stunning authenticity. Originally published in 1934 and largely forgotten before its celebrated rediscovery in the 1960s, it stands today as one of the most powerful and psychologically intense portraits of childhood and displacement in all of American literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887878877403,"sku":"2026200007659-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/853ee1ed-53d3-4936-b554-65b2e587ec86.png?v=1781747560","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007659-secondhand-call-it-sleep","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
