From the bestselling satirist and memoirist Neal Pollack comes a funny, gritty noir portrait of a people on the brink and of a great American game coming into its own. 1937. As the world prepares for war and the Jews of Europe feel the tightening noose of Nazi oppression, tensions simmer in America. While thousands of homegrown Nazis gather in groups like the German-American Bund, American Jews organize against this scourge, resisting any way they can. Meanwhile, the game of basketball grows in popularity, and Jews rule the court. In Philadelphia, the greatest Jewish basketball team of all prepares to confront the Bund, fists cocked. Here, the Jews write the rules. This is war. This is sports. This is…Jewball.


Praise for Neal Pollack’s Writing.

“Neal Pollack’s singular method of deconstructing the popular culture is smart and knowing and pitiless and entertaining.”—Kurt Andersen.

“Hilarious…wonderful fun.”—Neil Gaiman on The Neal Pollack Anthology of American Literature.

“Absolutely hysterical. A warped, literate, wildly original, and perfectly executed satire.”—Augusten Burroughs on Never Mind The Pollacks.

“A surprisingly romantic tale of love and hope and even civic-minded warmth, set amidst the dingier blocks of Chicago and Austin and the trash-can fires of Philadelphia.”—Sarah Vowell on Alternadad.

“If Eat, Pray, Love had been written by a sweaty, aging, male smartass, then that book might be called Stretch, and Elizabeth Gilbert would be named Neal Pollack.” —John Hodgman on Stretch.

“The joke proves surprisingly durable…Pollack forever soils the genre of literary journalism.”—Jack Shafer, reviewing The Neal Pollack Anthology Of American Literature in The New York Times Book Review.

“Revelatory and funny…More traditional dads surely love their kids just as much, but rarely has the bond felt more moving than it does here.”—Christopher Noxon, the Los Angeles Times Book Review, on Alternadad.

“Neal Pollack is a yoga bad boy, a bong-hitting carnivore with a taste for laughter…a highly entertaining guide as he investigates the good, bad and ugly of the yoga spectrum…Both sincere and subversive, Pollack will likely inspire more than one reader to commit to yoga.” --Kirkus Reviews on Stretch.

\"Poignant and hilarious...Neal Pollack\'s account of his transformation into a yogi will have you turning pages.\"--MORE Magazine.
