Frank Kruk

The narrative chronicles Pranas Krukelis's remarkable journey from a Lithuanian village boy to the American businessman Frank Kruk, owner of a Brooklyn funeral parlor. Blending satire and slapstick, the author critiques various facets of Lithuanian culture and the immigrant experience in America. This 1934 classic, previously translated into several languages, is now available in English for the first time, offering a unique perspective reminiscent of Sinclair Lewis and Stella Gibbons.
