We Always Take Care of Our Own

Author: NEWMAN, Coleman Joseph
Title: We Always Take Care of Our Own
Publication: London: Victor Gollancz, 1965

Description: [Modern Literature] FIRST EDITION. Octavo (21 x 14cm), pp.272. Publisher's orange cloth lettered in gilt to spine, 'Gollancz' yellow typographic dust-jacket with printed price of 25/6 to front flap. Publisher's advertisement sash with quotes from David Daiches and Frank Swinnerton. Offsetting to flyleaves, toning to edges of textblock, fading to spine gilt, sunning to jacket backstrip, some light tearing to jacket extremities. Very good. This novel follows the story of Meyer Rabinovitch after his grandma states at dinner one evening, 'We always take care of our own.' This launches Meyer into a questioning of his life, and in turn, his Jewish family's way of life. He wanders the streets of Montreal looking for a Jewish beggar, but fails to find one; this only leads to deeper questioning and personal uncertainty. Wrapped around the book is a rare publisher's sash with promotional quotations such as Swinnerton's statement.
