Grove Press continues the reissue of Bruce Jay Friedman's critically acclaimed fiction with two classic novels by the comedic genius. Friedman's first novel,Stern,tells the story of a young Jewish man who relocates his family from the city to the suburbs, where they are besieged by voracious caterpillars and a bigotry that ranges from the genteel snub to outright confrontation.
The story of a Jewish family displaced from the city to the suburbs, and the mild-mannered Everyman of the title.

Stern
Bruce Jay Friedman, totally unrecognized in most literary circles, wrote the movie SPLASH with Tom Hanks, which we can't hold against him, though John Candy was in SPLASH which gives it automatic street cred. STERN has no street cred, so I've been walking around with it in my back pocket for the last two years, hoping someone would steal it. We live in a fairly honest world (it's still in my back pocket), but not a world that recognizes the almost there genius of Bruce Jay Friedman, the worried man's writer.
If STERN doesn't tickle you like it tickles me, pick up ABOUT HARRY TOWNS or his collected short stories. He also wrote the screenplays for film THE HEARTBREAK KID (starting that hairy heart-throb Charles Grodin and a very young Cybill Shepherd) and STIR CRAZY (which pairs Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder in a prison rodeo) BTW, any movie with Gene Wilder in prison is automatic street cred.
G.D. you Friedman, you write great films, you write great books, why does no one know who you are?
