😭My bargain $1.17 VMC was too good to be true. I flipped through the pages to discover a book heathen tore out pages 108-130. The seller offered a refund (which mournfully the $6 shipping was more than the price) or select another equally priced book from their site. So I‘ve ended up with this lovely Julia Chapman replacement. But I don‘t know what to do with my damaged copy. Any ideas? I can‘t bring myself to recycle bin a VMC…
Ah yes. 1923 NYC. Talking about Jews as foreign and overly sexual.
On the next page the author refers to the same character as “oriental.”
Classic racism.
There is nothing new in the world.
“Even downtown we got differences. Let me and the landlords wife go to the butcher store for meat. For who will the butcher pick out the fattest piece of meat? For me, who bargains herself every penny, or the landlords wife that pays him over any price he asks?”
Unintended bias is everywhere. Even in 1923.
Honestly, what were the freaking odds of finding this book.
It has no reviews on Litsy. It isn‘t mentioned in any of the other “also by this author.”
But there it was on a to be shelved used books trolley.
I‘m so excited. Talk about beshert!
