Summary |
A collection of stories and essays that demonstrate the author's somewhat ironic sense of humor with a smattering of seriousness here and there. Ms. Reingold’s stories are written in that wry, comic style indigenous to Brooklyn – where she comes from and where her heart still lives. Also included are excerpts from "Russia-shuna," a memoir dealing with her memories of Jewish holidays, as well as the first section of a memoir/history book that looks at women's role in the computer industry dating all the way back to the early 1950's. |
