Biographical History
Henry Roth was born in Tysmenitz, located in what was then the Austro-Hungarian province of Galitzia, and brought to New York's Lower East Side in 1910. He graduated from the City College of New York in 1928, and his novel, Call it sleep (1934), was considered an important examination of Jewish-American life. He worked at various jobs unconnected with writing for almost fifty years, then began a six-volume "memoir-form novel," Mercy of a rude stream, in 1979, only four of which were completed and published, 1994-1998.
