Publisher Description:
Julius Knipl (the word means nest egg in Yiddish) is short, overweight, and of an uncertain age. He wouldn't dream of going out into the street without a tie, jacket, and fedora. His devotion to conventional dress, his thin mustache, and his acceptance of his marginal existence suggests that he actually belongs to a vanished generation. Although Knipl is never without his camera, he seldom takes photographs. His function is to observe, reflect, and in the course of his small adventures, catalogue aspects of city life that elicit nostalgia. The city in which Julius Knipl lives, loafs, and perambulates is the nirvana of luncheonettes, the Atlantis of wholesale novelty showrooms, the Valhalla of one desk syndicates, the El Dorado of second story friendship-league lecture halls.
