"Nuyork vi es Lakht un Veynt, a Roman fun Idishen Leben" [The Crying and Laughing New York, a Novel of Jewish Life], by Moses Seiffert. [New York, late 19th century]. Yiddish.
Novel by the Yiddish playwright, author and translator Moses Seiffert. The novel, published in the Jewish-American weekly "Di Yiddishe Gazetten" (or in the newspaper "Yiddishes Tagblatt"), was never properly published in book form, and the present copy is apparently an edition printed for the newspaper's subscribers only.
Moses Seiffert (1851-1922), one of the most fruitful Yiddish authors of the early 20th century, was born in Ukmergė, Lithuania and brought up in the home of Maskilim. In 1886 he immigrated to New York and tried his hand at writing. Some of the novels he wrote were printed by publishing houses, but most of his work was only printed in the period's newspapers.
Not in NLI. A single copy is listed in OCLC.
