"The soul-baring school of autobiography," writes Edna Ferber, "is more embarrassing for the reader than the writer. . . . This, then, isn't a story of my life, written because I am fatuous enough to think that anyone is interested. . . . .It is the story of an American Jewish family in the past half-century, and as such is really a story about America which I know and love." #00952.
