I This powerful story spans more than sixty years, from the pre-nuclear innocence of the twenties and thirties to the turbulence of the iriimediate past. Scenes of rich family humor and show-business low comedy alternate with sudden tragedy, the spectacle of a falling Président, and the explosion ofwar.

Inside, Outside is a merry, masterful, sometimes ribald picture of the American Jewish experience in our cen-tury, by a master at the peak of his powers.
