Leo Rosten is a great writer. His "Captain Newman, M.D.," for example, is a pleasure to read, because Rosten knows how to paint vivid pictures with simple language. "Hooray for Yiddish" is therefore a whole palette of jjuicy words which we all use to make our English more colorful. His subtitle to the book is, "A book about English," and he means it. It's surprising how subtly Yiddish infiltrated, conquered, and occupies our everyday English, and has for the past century. This is one of those dictionaries intended to be read cover to cover,,, and, you will. A fun read, interspersed with richly humorous Jewish jokes, illustrating and enriching the definitions. Read it, you'll like it.
