How? By speaking Yiddish, employing terms that convey an attitude -- part plucky self-assertion, part ironic fatalism. When Dick schmoozes, when Jane kvetches, when their children fress noodles at a Chinese restaurant, the clash of cultures produces genuine hilarity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellis Weiner, Barbara Davilman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0316159727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780316159722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Little Brown and Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.26h x 5.20w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/02\/2004","brand":"Ellis Weiner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045013188863,"sku":"9780316159722","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2caeeff1-ab54-48d2-a520-5eb12c3a06e1.jpg?v=1684976216","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yiddish-with-dick-and-jane-ellis-weiner-9780316159722","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
