What's next--a "Column One" about Leo Rosten and the history of "schmucko"?
Many readers will recall with pleasure Leo Rosten's THE EDUCATION OF H*Y*M*A*N K*A*P*L*A*N , which appeared in the late 1930s and early 40s and which dealt with the amusing difficulties of a Jewish immigrant from the Russian Pale of Settlement in coping with what we now call “English as a second language.”
Rosten's articles were good-humored, and there was no intimation of negative or hostile feeling toward an ethnic minority.
oy not so much a word as an entire vocabulary, as Rosten observes: “can express any emotion, from trivial delight to the blackest woe.”
To be sure, as it was fiction, Rosten exaggerated a bit, but the real-life models were then extant, and I can vouch for at least one from my own experience.
