Synopsis
Frimme Hersh, en route from Europe to America, writes a contract with God on a stone. He promises to live a pious, devout life, doing good deeds if God allows him safe passage to his new home. One day, having settled in his New York tenement home, Frimme finds a basket with a baby girl in it upon his doorstep. Frimme tries to raise the girl to the best of his ability, but she dies tragically from an illness at a young age. Filled with bitter rage, Frimme spits upon his contract, throws it out the window and decides to become a successful businessman.
Notes
Indicia states "First Kitchen Sink Press Printing: June 1985" but also gives lists of copyright dates (for the story and the introduction) extending to 1995, so that is presumably the year this edition was issued.
Title on cover and title page is "A Contract with God and Other Tenement Stories".
