The Jew of New York

The Jew of New York was a fun read.  Being Jewish and having some experience dealing with the stereotypes that go along with following that religion, I found this graphic novel to be a fun take on those clichés.  So many Jewish stereotypes exist in America and around the world and over the years of being affected and included within these ideas I have grown to find them quite funny.  For some reason I find the nonsensical nature of the character traits that go along with the Jewish religion so outrageous it just makes me crack up.  This caused me to have a lot of fun with The Jew of New York.  Every time a new generalization came up I laughed.  Most of the time when I read comics I pick a comic based on my mood.   A lot of the time I just like to sit and read comical graphic novels.  So The Jew of New York, whether meant to be funny or not, fit right into that mood.   The interesting look into cultural generalizations and America’s values made The Jew of New York easy to read, not just on a fun “oh I can’t wait for the next action sequence” level, but on a deep almost philosophical level.
