Summary

Patricia Volk's family, chronicled here from the turn of the century to now, leaves you speechless -- and laughing. In a series of vignettes "remarkable for their humor and insight" -- Publishers Weekly, Volk portrays a century in the life of a vibrant and eccentric New York family. Each one of them is a piquant morsel of history. Great-Gandfather Sussman Volk brought pastrami to the New World. Grandfather Jacob was immortalized by E.B. White as "the greatest wrecker of all time" for his innovative approach to demolition. Grandfather Herman Morgen's last of 14 restaurants was a famous hangout in the heart of the colorful garment district until it closed in 1988. "In a restaurant family you're never hungry -- you're starving to death. And you're never full -- you're stuffed." For three generations, just about every Volk and Sussman has, no matter what the circumstances, exhibited an almost terrifyingly positive attitude, and a love of life, success, and one another.
