About

Schtick is a tale of Jewish assimilation and its discontents: a sweeping exposition on Jewish American culture in all its bawdy, contradictory, inventive glory. Exploring--in his own family and in culture and politics at large--how Jews have shed their minority status in the United States, poet Kevin Coval shows us a people's transformation out of diaspora, landing on both sides of the color line.
