David Schearl arriva a New York tra le braccia della madre per iniziare la sua nuova vita da immigrato nella "Terra d'oro". David è odiato dal padre, un uomo arrabbiato e violento incapace di trovare la sua nicchia nel Nuovo Mondo, ma è intensamente amato e protetto dalla madre che parla yiddish. Un romanzo innovativo e multilingue, Call It Sleep intreccia sottilmente l'amore travolgente tra una madre e un figlio con i terrori e le ansie che David sperimenta, mentre cerca di trovare la propria identità in mezzo al disordine culturale dell'America di inizio Novecento.

Henry Roth (1906-1995) was born in the Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia. He probably landed on Ellis Island in 1909 and began his life in New York on the Lower East Side, in the slums where Call It Sleep is set. He is the author as well of Shifting Landscapes, a collection of essays, and the Mercy of a Rude Stream tetralogy.
Alfred Kazin (1915-98), was an American critic. His first book, On Native Grounds (1942), is a critical study of American prose literature from Howells to Faulkner. Later essay collections include The Inmost Leaf (1955), Contemporaries (1962), Bright Book of Life (1973), An American Procession (1984), Writing Was Everything (1995), and God and the American Writer (1997).
