When Henry Roth published Call It Sleep his first novel in
1934 it was greeted with critical acclaim. But in that
dark Depression year books were hard to sell and the novel
quickly dropped out of sight as did its
twenty-eight-year-old author. Only with its paperback
publication in 1964 did the novel receive the recognition
it deserves. Call It Sleep was the first paperback ever to
be reviewed on the front page of The New York Times Book
Review and it proceeded to sell millions of copies both in
the United States and around the world. Call It Sleep is
the magnificent story of David Schearl the “dangerously
imaginative” child coming of age in the slums of New York.
