Book Overview

After a series of professional and personal misfortunes, a young Jewish man joins a Jewish professional baseball team at the height of the Depression. 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, it is a look at what it means to be an outsider in America

Immensely entertaining

True, it is bawdy--but so is Shakespeare. This is a hilarious book, a chance to ride with a barnstorming ballclub. Each page is drenched with humor, or with insight which transcends the game, and this group of men. Rosen's Cockroach Basketball League is also a terrrific read. He is clearly the best basketball novelist going.

Not just about basketball.

"House of Moses All-Stars" does have, as can be expected terrifically written scens of the basketball games. But more than that, it tells a great story, with interesting characters and gives a great overview of all the various aspects of Depression-era America.

Take the Trip: It's well worth it!

Thought provoking and comical all at once, Charley Rosen's tribute to the Sacred Hoop is a great read. A guilt-free page turner that provides insight into a group of seven men united by culture and divided by self-interest.
