A Contract with God and Other Tenement Stories by Will EisnerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A depiction of the life in Bronx, a suburb of New York inhabited mainly by the families of recent immigrants (many of them Jews) during the 1930s.
These are four separate stories, all of them quite dark, but with philosophical context.
The book really pictures well dull life of poorish suburb of New York of the 1930s. The hopes, disappointments and personal tragedies of its characters were all vividly depicted.
I personally would have preferred one longer story with several characters involved. The visual art is interesting, but too exaggerating to my taste.
