Leo Rosten
So apparently Leo Rosten is a Russian immigrant writer who wrote a book called The Education of Hyman Kaplan and other works.
This book is fully available on google books and is definitely worth a read if you have the time. I think partially due the fact that I gew up in a Russian immigrant household I find all of the humor in this book twice as funny.
This book is about a man who is high school for adults in order to learn english and prepare for his citizenship test. He reminds me of some of my family members in the ways that he pronounces some words.
Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.
