Publisher's note

In stories that draw heavily on her own life, Anzia Yezierska (1880-1970) portrays the immigrant's struggle to become a "real" American. Set mostly on New York's Lower East Side, the stories brilliantly evoke crowded streets, shabby tenements, poverty, and ethnic prejudice. These stories are still relevant today, except the ethnic backgrounds are Latino and Asian.

In 1890, Anzia Yezierska came to America with her parents from a Polish or Russian shtetl and settled on New York's Lower East Side, where a half million Jews would live by 1910. HUNGRY HEARTS takes the clamorous streets and dilapidated tenements of this New World ghetto as its setting, depicting the despair of families trapped in unspeakable poverty, evoking the clatter and roar of the sweatshop, laying bare the heart constricted in the midst of teeming life.
In unforgettable stories like "Hunger," "The Fat of the land," and "How I Found America," Yezierska, drawing on her own experience, portrays an immigrant woman seeking her own America, a land of her dreams.

Annotation
