Description: "The experience of growing up Jewish in America has produced some of the very best works of fiction and nonfiction ever written. Now, Growing Up Jewish brings together twenty-five accounts by some of our most popular and admired authors as well as newer and lesser-known voices. These twenty-five stories of childhood and adolescence explore issues of Jewish identity, language, generational differences, and family life. But above all, they touch on the universal themes, the rites of passage, and the joys and tensions of coming-of-age."--BOOK JACKET.
