Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Former basketball-star Aaron Steiner is teetering on the edge of madness and about to be given a one-way ticket to Bellevue. In desperation, he accepts his friend's offer to join a Jewish professional basketball team on a cross-country tour in a renovated hearse. Aaron's fellow teammates - a working communist, a Zionist, a former bank robber, and an African-American who is passing for a Jew - are, like, Aaron, trying to escape their own troubled pasts. Here is the story of an all-Jewish basketball team traveling in a hearse through Depression-era America in search of redemption and big money. A hilarious road novel, The House of Moses All-Stars is also a passionate portrayal of a young Jewish man struggling to realize his dreams in a country struggling to recover its ideals. Charley Rosen gives us basketball as a metaphor for life. As the members of this motley crew travel west to California through an anti-Semitic land that disdains and rebuffs them, they discover that their nation is as confused as they are - torn between its fears of foreigners and poverty, and its belief in democratic ideals of tolerance and opportunity. Told with a rueful eye, The House of Moses All-Stars looks critically and lovingly at what it means to be an outsider in America.
