About the book

Set in 1920s Chicago, the short novel YUDL follows its eponymous protagonist, a middle-aged editor at a left-leaning newspaper. Yudl and his wife want to become landlords, purchasing a vacant lot and hiring an acquaintance, aptly named Mason, to oversee the construction of their future apartment building. However, delays in the construction leave Yudl and his family without a home, forcing them to stay with Mason until the construction is finally complete. Told with wry wit and a masterful sensibility for metaphor, the story explores the immigrant experience in the US.
