Call It Sleep (Twentieth Century Classics)

When Henry Roth published his debut novel Call It Sleep in 1934, it was greeted with considerable critical acclaim though, in those troubled times, lackluster sales. Only with its paperback publication thirty years later did this novel receive the recognition it deservesÑ--and still enjoys. Having sold-to-date millions of copies worldwide,ÊCall It SleepÊis the magnificent story of David Schearl, the Òdangerously imaginativeÓ child coming of age in the slums of New York.
