2 Bermant Tales
in Single Volume
Chaim Bermant, member_ of the
editorial staff of the London Jewish
Chronicle, a native of Lithuania,
son of a rabbi, moved to Glasgow
in 1939. He holds three degrees,
has appeared on television in a
special program and now writes
novels in addition.
He has a good sense of humor,
and he incorporates it in his writ-
ings, as evidenced in two of his
newest stories, "Jericho Sleep
Alone" and "Berl Make Tea"
both published in a single volume
by Holt, Rinehart and Winston
(383 Madison, NY 17).
It is a Unique book because
it FLIPS. After finishing one
novel. you FLIP over and start
the other from the other direc-
tion.
Both novels are filled with
humorous incidents. There is lots
of comed y, much sex in the
"Jericho" portion — the title is
based on the chief character, the
love-sick young man who loses his
amours, who remains alone. Inter-
woven are episodes involving
studies, settlement in Israel, jeal-
ousies, aspirations unfulfilled, even
intrigues of youth.
And the Berl narrative is about
an older man whose wife leaves
him. There is sex and intrigue here
too, and lots of Jewish historical
incidents are tied into the tales.
There is no doubt that the novelist
knows his • history — he also is
aware of human frailties and he
plays upon them throughout his
stories.
So — we have humor in both
novels. They are not profound clas-
sics. They do not claim to be works
aimed at inspiring cultural thrills.
In the Modern sense, they are
splendidly related series of epi-
sodes that will draw many laughs.
