The one I am reading is The Contract with God Trilogy set in NYC during the 1920s and 30s. It is very much about the life of the Jewish Immigrant. His writing and drawing are helping me understand the life my grandparents lived and from where I evolved. Gritty and honest, I can track their paths from city to country and how I am quite a different Jew having grown up in Connecticut rather than one of the five borough.

The Artful Eye of Will Eisner

So literally I did by exploring what was on the shelves of my Oakland Library Piedmont Avenue branch. Even our little tiny branch has his novels, not surprising for hipster Oakland.
