| Sumario: | Allan Sherman was the Larry David, the Adam Sandler, the Sacha Baron Cohen of 1963. He led Jewish humor and sensibilities out of ethnic enclaves and into the American mainstream with explosively funny parodies of classic songs that won Sherman extraordinary success and acclaim across the board, from Harpo Marx to President Kennedy. In this book, the author argues persuasively for Sherman’s legacy as a touchstone of postwar humor and a turning point in Jewish American cultural history. |
