Hungry Hearts
Introduction by Blanche H. Gelfant
In stories that draw heavily on her own life,
Anzia Yezierska portrays the immigrant’s
struggle to become a “real” American, in
such stories as “Yekl,” “Hunger,” “The
Fat of the Land,” and “How I Found
America.” Set mostly in New York’s Lower
East Side, the stories brilliantly evoke the
oppressive atmosphere of crowded streets
and shabby tenements and lay bare the
despair of families trapped in unspeakable
poverty, working at demeaning jobs, and
coping with the barely hidden prejudices
of their new land.
